Towards a ‘Chemistry of AI’: Unveiling the Structure of Training Data for more Scalable and Robust Machine Learning
On February 21, 2025 at 11:00 am till 12:00 pm E18-304Abstract: Recent advances in AI have underscored that data, rather than model size, is now the primary bottleneck in large-scale machine learning performance. Yet, despite this shift, systematic methods for dataset curation, augmentation, and optimization remain underdeveloped. In this talk, I will argue for the need for a Chemistry of AI–a paradigm that, like the…

Inference for ATE & GLM’s when p/n→δ∈(0,∞)
On February 7, 2025 at 11:00 am till 12:00 pm E18-304Abstract In this talk we will discuss statistical inference of average treatment effect in measured confounder settings as well as parallel questions of inferring linear and quadratic functionals in generalized linear models under high dimensional proportional asymptotic settings i.e. when p/n→δ∈(0,∞) where p, n denote the dimension of the covariates and the sample size respectively…
