Scaling my work on data mixing to larger language models and DNA pretraining, with thousands of data sources, and mapping out the Pareto front of data mixing performance across multiple benchmarks. A collaboration with a wonderful team at Radical Numerics.
An early approach to auditing the ownership of models by extending ideas from proof-of-work. The ideas from this paper eventually led to results on data forging, and subsequent unlearning work. A collaboration among students in the Cleverhans Lab.
Essays on C* Algebras
A collection of expository essays written while studying C* algebras and their classification under Prof. George Elliott during my undergrad.
The goal of these essays was to present the main prerequisite ideas for a particular problem in one relatively short document (as a sort of reference guide with a common theme).
- Category Theory and Classification
- The Classification of "Nice" C* Algebras
- The Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem (Note: indirectly motivated by a graduate course in Riemannian Geometry and the notion of index in terms of variations)
- Graphs and C* Algebras (Note: was taking a graduate course in combinatorics and hence had graphs on my mind)
- Irrational Rotational Algebras (Note: this is often the first concrete example on the classification of C* algebras one sees)
