Our work on the Goldilocks zone of neural network initialization, led by fantastic newly defended Dr. Artem Vysogorets, has been accepted to ICML ’24!  We derived conditions for the excess of positive eigenvalues of the loss Hessian at the initialization, which was observed by Fort & Scherlis (2019) to correlate very well with the network trainability (and even better generalization). We also play with networks initialized outside the Goldilocks zone and describe the failure modes. It’s my first ICML paper, I’m a bit too happy 😛

Exciting new work on arXiv! With awesome experimental collaborators, we developed a graph algorithm to identify laser cooling schemes straight from spectroscopic data! Spoiler alert: it’s really fast, and results are super promising!

A new adventure as a Flatiron Research Fellow unveils!

Sept 20, 2022

I defended with honours my PhD thesis titled “Quantum many-body physics with ultracold atoms and molecules: exact dynamics and machine learning”. It was a crazy ride, and I loved every minute of it (weeell, a large majority!).

“Towards interpretable and reliable machines learning physics” – My first invited talk ever, and it’s on the APS March Meeting in beautiful Chicago (I just love skyscrapers)! The recording is available here.

Dec 18, 2021

It was a month of amazing discussions and breathtaking views! I visited and gave seminars in the groups of Alán Aspuru-Guzik (Univ. of Toronto), Roman Krems (Univ. of British Columbia, Vancouver), Eun-Ah Kim (Cornell University, Ithaca), Tanya Zelevinsky (Columbia University, NY), Ana Maria Rey (JILA, Boulder), and Kang-Kuen Ni (Harvard University, Boston).
