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.

[38] Andrew Lampinen - A Computational Framework for Learning and Transforming Task Representations
Andrew Lampinen is a research scientist at DeepMind. His research focuses on cognitive flexibility and generalization.
Andrew’s PhD thesis is titled "A Computational Framework for Learning and Transforming Task Representations", which he completed in 2020 at Stanford University.
We talk about cognitive flexibility in brains and machines, centered around his work in the thesis on meta-mapping. We cover a lot of interesting ground, including complementary learning systems and memory, compositionality and systematicity, and the role of symbols in machine learning.
