I am looking for PhD students to start in Fall 2008

Research interests

I work on several areas of machine learning -- the estimation of models and representations from data. My research is inspired by pattern recognition problems such as speech processing and computer vision, and by computational neuroscience. My long-term research goals are to design algorithms for complex information processing problems, and to understand how neural systems solve such problems.
