Abstract: Machine learning spans a wide range of use cases and underlying assumptions. For applications in physics, we often need to cope with relatively limited training data when scaling up to large current model architectures. On the…

Abstract: Despite decades of study, large parts of the human metabolome remain unexplored. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics routinely detects thousands of unidentified small molecules within human tissues and biofluids, but…

Abstract: Naturalistic experimental paradigms in cognitive neuroscience arose from a pressure to test, in real-world contexts, the validity of models we derive from highly controlled laboratory experiments. In many cases, however, such…

Abstract: This talk overviews research at Caltech on designing hybrid or neurosymbolic AI systems that blend learning with symbolic structure, in order to achieve both the flexibility of the former and the formal interpretability and generalization power of the latter.  By having systems that are…

Abstract: New regulatory requirements would have AI model developers assure that models cannot induce harms even when downstream users can modify the model in different ways. This talk will examine these regulatory regimes, the challenges of…

Between 1965 and 2015, over 12 million Mexicans have crossed the border into the United States. We use the largest survey data on this flow from the Mexican Migration Project which covers 160 thousand people observed over 50 years. We explore the predictability of about…
