    I defended my PhD thesis! Also, a very (~4 month) late life update, but I've joined @OpenAI to work on safety research and pretraining safer language models! 📈 Thank you to my advisor @zicokolter and my committee: Matt Fredrikson, @andrew_ilyas, and @furongh! 🙏

    I started a summer internship at @GoogleAI in NYC this week, where I’ll be working on data for LLMs! I’d love to meet up with friends or researchers in the area 🙂

    Check out our #NeurIPS2023 paper "Learning with Explanation Constraints" with my co-author @rpukdeee, which explains how explanations of model behavior can help us from a learning-theoretic perspective! (arxiv.org/pdf/2303.14496…) 🧵 (1/n)

    1/ Here's a more thorough tweet thread on my paper: arxiv.org/abs/2212.06921 ("Losses over Labels: Weakly Supervised Learning via Direct Loss Construction"). I'll be presenting this at #AAAI23 on Sunday! 😀 Work w/ my advisor @zicokolter.

    Finished a hybrid orientation at @mldcmu @CarnegieMellon !! It felt weird being back in lecture halls 😅 I'm excited for the upcoming semester of research and classes!

    The dominant paradigm in deep learning is to build larger-sized models. In recent work, we show that the statistical guarantees of such models do not necessarily suffer as a result of their sheer size. arxiv.org/abs/2310.03957 🧵

    I'll be attending my first in-person conference #NeurIPS2022 to present my summer internship work (sslneurips22.github.io/paper_pdfs/pap…) at the SSL workshop. Please reach out if you want to chat about SSL, weakly supervised learning, etc. Also down to watch the World Cup!
