Hi, I’m a research scientist at AT&T Labs in New York city.
I’m passionate about:
- Learning, in computers and in humans.
- Mathematics, particularly probability.
- Understanding human behavior.
I’m always up for discussing a good idea over a cup of coffee. The views expressed on my blog are all mine and convey zero bits of information about my employer’s views.
