Research Interests
My research interests are primarily centered around the efficiency of neural networks. I'm interested in how to most efficiently use them to encode function approximations, and how these representations may be learned.
Most Important Research Results
Some early findings on getting ReLU-activated networks to scale representation power exponentially with depth. Better efficiency is achieved through gradient descent on derived parameters rather than raw network weights: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.18022
