I am a principal software engineer at Microsoft.In graduate school, my particular field of machine learning dealt with learning functions with complex structured outputs. (A canonical example of is a function which takes a sentence and outputs the sequence of parts of speech for each word in the sentence.) In particular, I focused on learning structured outputs in settings where the inference procedure (i.e., the process that computes outputs given an input) requires the use of approximation algorithms.Specialties: Machine learning, theoretical computer science, software development, mathematics
