Short bio.


Research

My research develops mathematical tools and frameworks for analyzing the possibilities and limitations of automated learning, with a focus on semi-supervised, active and transfer learning. Currently I am particularly interested developing formal foundations for topics relating to societal impacts of machine learning, such as human interpretability and algorithmic fairness.
