About Me
I
am currently a Research Assistant Professor at Toyota Technological
Institute at Chicago, a philanthropically endowed academic
computer science institute located in the campus of University
of
Chicago.
My current research
interests
are theoretically motivated supervised and unsupervised learning
algorithms. In particular I am interested
in online
active
learning, online learning methods for life-long
learning and kernel methods in general.
