Machine/deep learning, information geometry, topology, and optimization. I am interested in all things geometry behind probability, uncertainty, and learning systems.

Current writing

I am currently developing a mathematical essay series called The Natural Geometry of Learning, starting from Fisher information, optimal transport, KL geometry, and Schrödinger bridges.

The Natural Geometry of Learning

Recent focus

My current interests sit at the intersection of geometry, probability, and learning:

  • information geometry and Fisher metrics
  • optimal transport and Wasserstein geometry
  • KL divergence, Bregman geometry, and exponential families
  • Schrödinger bridges and Langevin dynamics
  • geometric viewpoints on machine/deep learning
