Christos Thrampoulidis

Research interests: High-dimensional signal processing, machine learning, optimization, statistics, mathematical data science

Danica Sutherland

Learning and testing on sets and distributions: two-sample tests, evaluating and training implicit generative models (e.g. GANs), density estimation, distribution regression.

Learning “deep kernels,” and representation learning more broadly; Statistical learning theory in general.

My research lies at the intersection of mathematical statistics, machine learning, combinatorics, multilinear algebra, and applied algebraic geometry. Most recently I have been working on the theory of linear causal models, structured tensor decompositions, shape-constrained density estimation, and super-resolution imaging.

Geoff Schiebinger

Research interests: The interplay between theory and experiment in natural science. New measurement technologies like single-cell RNA sequencing are bringing ‘big data’ to biology. My group develops mathematical tools for analyzing time-courses of high-dimensional gene expression data, leveraging tools from optimal transport, at the intersection of probability, statistics, and optimization.

My current research focuses on the information-theoretic approach to data science and machine learning. Several recent works in this direction include universal compression of graphical data, coding theoretical approach to distributed machine learning, statistical inference on graphs, ranking from pairwise comparison, etc.
