Preetum Nakkiran
I'm a PhD student at Harvard, in the Theory Group and the Harvard ML Theory Group. I'm advised by Madhu Sudan. This summer I'm interning at OpenAI, with Ilya Sutskever.
New:
- Our new paper on the dynamics of SGD on neural-networks.
- A short paper on adversarial examples in machine-learning.
Older:
- Our paper on using polar codes to efficiently compress Hidden-Markov sources, and code for related channels. (See slides from China Theory Week, and also our previous paper on polar codes).
- Our general-audience paper (and poster) on preventing false-discoveries in adaptive science.
- An exposition + demo of Gauss's Principle of Least Constraint.
I did my undergrad in EECS at UC Berkeley, and have previously interned with the speech-team at Google.
