About Me
I am a Ph.D student working with Max Welling. I'm interested in various statistical machine learning problems including Bayesian large-scale machine learning, Bayesian nonparametrics, probabilistic graphical models, and their applications to computer vision, natural language processing, and data mining. Among these, I'm now focusing on scalable Bayesian inference for big data. [Picture]
