The real excitement of this area comes from what can enable when we bring advanced learning techniques and system together. On that end, I am also pushing the direction on deep learning, knowledge transfer and lifelong learning. I am a believer of open source and open science. My research involves publishing algorithms in openly accessible mediums and building open-source machine learning systems that are widely adopted. Here are the ML systems that I created: Apache TVM, an Automated End-to-End Optimizing Compiler for Deep Learning. XGBoost, a scalable tree boosting system. Apache MXNet(co-creator)
