News
[02 June 2019] [New] Our work on accelerating extreme classification algorithms that are used for recommendation and labelling tasks with millions of labels, will appear at IJCAI 2019. Code for our method and a preprint are available [here].
[25 March 2019] [New] This website was not updated for several months. Updates should happen more regularly now :) Do check out our recent works on using the IRLS heuristic for robust regression (to appear in AISTATS 2019), and our work on bandit algorithms that are resilient to data corruption (to appear in Machine Learning J.). Preprints are available [here].
[25 March 2019] [New] Our monograph on non-convex optimization is a helpful guide to understanding the design and analysis of scalable algorithms for solving non-convex optimization problems in machine learning. Purchase the official copy [here] or get a free copy [here].
[5 September 2017] Our paper on consistent robust regression will appear at NIPS 2017. Our work develops the first polynomial time algorithm that can solve the age-old problem of linear regression in a statistically consistent manner even when a large number of training data samples are adversarially corrupted.
[15 May 2017] Our paper on context-dependent clustering of multi-armed bandits will appear at ICML 2017. Our work demonstrates how improved recommendation systems can be developed by combining explore-exploit-style bandit techniques with collaborative filtering techniques.
[12 November 2016] Our paper on optimizing multivariate performance measures in multi-label learning settings with weak supervision will appear at AAAI 2017. A preprint is available here.
