TLDRs

Short, informal writeups of my papers, intended to require less background. I started writing these to get better at explaining things without relying as much on formalism; comments and suggestions are more than welcome :).

A full list of work is at research.

Majority-of-Three is Optimal [arXiv]

How simple can an optimal learner be?

A Theory of Saddle Escape in Deep Nonlinear Networks [arXiv]

When do neural networks first learn features?

Rao-Blackwellized Score Matching on Manifolds [arXiv]

What do generative modeling techniques actually recover on structured data?
