I am a PhD student in Computational Neuroscience in the group of Prof. Matthias Bethge at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen (Germany).
My academic interests are
- Statistics of Natural Images
- Lp-spherically and Lp-nested probability distributions
- The interaction of the geometry of specular objects with the statistics of natural images
- Stochastic Processes for Computational Neuroscience
- Philosophy of Science
In the past, I worked on machine learning topics such as Large Scale Transductive SVMs and Inference with the Universum. I also wrote an implementation of the SVM optimization with CCCP called UniverSVM. Check out the code section for it.
Here is some random information about me
- my researcher ID is E-6708-2010
- my Erdos number is 4 if you count conference papers (B. Schölkopf = 3, J. S.Taylor = 2, D. Godsil = 1,P. Erdos = 0)
- my Erdos number is 5 if you only count journal papers (L. Bottou = 4, P. Gallinari=3, F. Laviolette=2, N. W. Sauer=1, P. Erdos = 0)
- my stackexchange flair
