Thoughts on the Brain and Machine Learning: Biological Plausibility, SNNs, and beyond
Published:
I covered a bit of Neuroscience, discussed the plausibility of backpropagation in the brain, highlighted spiking neural networks and analyzed the Neural Gradient Representation by Activity Differences (NGRAD) algorithm.
Homomorphic Encryption for Encrypted Machine Learning
Published:
I led the hands-on discussion and code walkthrough where attendees were given a hands-on introduction to FHE-backed Machine Learning. I started with a naive first-pass implementation, then walked them through how they might optimize their own code, leading us to an optimized logistic regression implementation
An Informal Introduction to Monoids, Functors and Monads in the Context of Machine Learning
Published:
I gave an experimental talk where I chatted about how concepts in category theory, primarily monoids functors and monads lead to better, cleaner code.
