Technical Interests

I’m at the moment focused on learning about AI Interpretability and Fairness.

One recent project I was involved with is Stanford’s Input on the European Commission White Paper “On Artifical Intelligence - European Approach to excellence and trust.” The paper can be found on Stanford’s Human-Centered Artifical Intelligence policy page here. Another is a National Framework for AI Procurement proposal through the Day One project, which is a Federation of American Scientists project that identifies and develops actionable ideas in science and tech. policy.

I worked on research at the Stanford AI Lab, advised by Prof. James Zou. One recent project I worked on is the effect of competing multi-agent feedback on learning can be found here.(CoopAI Workshop @ NeurIPS 20’, to appear in AISTATS 21’, HAI Post).

Previously I’ve worked on projects in Deep Learning research @Stanford ML(Professor Andrew Ng’s research group, CC @ NeurIPS 19’), @World Bank Group (Famine Prediction), and Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research (EHR Patient Outcomes, WiML 18’). Last summer, I worked on improving image label granularity for company-wide Vision Semantic Service @ Google (visual search applications include Lens, Vision AI, OCR). Freshman summer I worked on Genome Assembly software for Stanford Biology and worked on a deep learning project at a startup called Omniscience.

Sample Technical Courses

I proposed, designed and taught CS81SI AI Interpretability & Fairness at Stanford listed under CS81SI archived here in Spring 2020, with the invaluable support of my faculty sponsors Professor James Zou and Professor Omer Reingold. For background on the class and similar class offerings, please check out this School of Engineering post. For more information on the course, please feel free to reach out to me.
