Introduction

My research: 

Parton distributions, Perturbative QCD, Higgs and heavy quark physics, Machine Learning

My expertise is:

QCD, neural networks, bayesian methods and uncertainty estimation

A problem I’m grappling with:

Teach a machine learning model to learn the best methodology on its own and estimate its own accuracy

I’ve got my eyes on:

XAI

I want to know more about:

Interpretable autoencoders

Projects

Comprehensive uncertainties for generative models

Develop a method to include uncertainties, starting from Bayesian generative networks; expand strategies to model systematic uncertainties using conditional training on nuisance parameters; extend NNPDF methodology for architecture-driven and parameter-driven uncertainties to generative models; study the effect of guided implicit bias on amplification factors between training and generated sample size.
