Tianqi Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Machine Learning Department and Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University and the Chief Technologist of OctoML. His research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and systems.
Tianqi's PhD thesis is titled "Scalable and Intelligent Learning Systems," which he completed in 2019 at the University of Washington. We discuss his influential work on machine learning systems, starting with the development of XGBoost,an optimized distributed gradient boosting library that has had an enormous impact in the field. We also cover his contributions to deep learning frameworks like MXNet and machine learning compilation with TVM, and connect these to modern generative AI.

[37] Joonkoo Park - Neural Substrates of Visual Word and Number Processing
Joonkoo Park is an Associate Professor and Honors Faculty in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at UMass Amherst.
He leads the Cognitive and Developmental Neuroscience Lab, focusing on understanding the developmental mechanisms and neurocognitive underpinnings of our knowledge about number and mathematics.
Joonkoo’s PhD thesis is titled "Experiential Effects on the Neural Substrates of Visual Word and Number Processing", which he completed in 2011 at the University of Michigan.
We talk about numerical processing in the brain, starting with nature vs. nurture, including the learned versus built-in aspects of neural architectures. We talk about the difference between word and number processing, types of numerical thinking, and symbolic vs. non-symbolic numerical processing.
