Interests I develop new algorithms with a view towards future platforms and practical systems. A few examples: Efficient algorithms for web-scale nearest-neighbor search deployed widely in Microsoft ( DiskANN ) New ML operators and architectures for tiny IoT and edge devices ( EdgeML ) Parallel algorithms and run-times with provable guarantees for multi-core processors ( PhD thesis )
I co-led the organization of the 2021 NeurIPS challenge on Billion-Scale Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search . If you have a strong ANNS algorithm, please submit your idea through this evaluation framework .
Slides on ANNS work from talks at MIT Algorithms and FastCode seminars, Northwestern IDEAL workshop and Google Research NYC.
