An Intuitive Look at the Dynamics of SGD
This blog post is an intuitive look through the chronicles of Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). I try to explain the reasoning behind some of the interesting aspects of SGD, like the stochastic gradient noise, the SGN covariance matrix, and SGD's preference for flat minima. Some ideas have particularly taken a bit of time for me to truly understand and with this, I hope to make it easier for others. -
The Ferromagnetic Potts Model
The ferromagnetic Potts model is a canonical example of a Markov random field from statistical physics that is of great probabilistic and algorithmic interest. This is a distribution over all 1-colorings of the vertices of a graph where monochromatic edges are favored. The algorithmic problem of efficiently sampling approximately from this model is known to be #BIS-hard, and has seen a lot of recent interest. This blog outlines some recently developed algorithms for approximately sampling from the ferromagnetic Potts model on d-regular weakly expanding graphs. -
Compression techniques in Statistical Learning
Characterizing the sample complexity of different machine learning tasks is one of the central questions in statistical learning theory. This blog reviews the less conventional approach of using compression schemes for proving sample complexity upper bounds, with specific applications in learning under adversarial perturbations and learning Gaussian mixture models. -
Review of Domain Generalization using Causal Matching: Causal Learning Series
In this part of the causal learning series I will review the paper Domain Generalization using Causal Matching. This was also submitted as an assignment at the University of Toronto. -
Kubeflow Pipelines: Orchestrating Machine Learning Workflows - Part 3
Kubeflow Pipelines is a great way to build and deploy end-to-end scalable and portable Machine Learning workloads. In this article, we take a look at how to use Kubeflow Pipelines for your own tasks and how Kubeflow Pipelines works under the hood. -
How to Use GitHub Super Linter in Your Projects
When you're starting a new project, you might have to add multiple linting tools to beautify your code and prevent simple errors. In this article, I will show you how you can use GitHub Super Linter, a single linter to solve all these problems. Most of my personal projects use GitHub Super Linter as well, and I have personally found it be a huge lifesaver. -
Kubeflow Notebooks: ML Experimentation Made Easier - Part 2
Machine learning is a very iterative process with a ton of experimentation you might need to do. In this article, I introduce you to Kubeflow Notebooks, a way to run development environments inside your Kubernetes cluster, as well as how you could extend the default capabilities of Kubeflow Notebooks for your own use cases and how it works under the hood. -
Kubeflow: Machine Learning on Kubernetes - Part 1
Developing and deploying machine learning systems could be a pain with multiple things you need to manage. In this article, I introduce you and help you get started with Kubeflow while also understanding how Kubeflow works. This is the first article in the Kubeflow series and I will try to help you answer the question Why and When Kubeflow? -
My first in-person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon
This year I got a chance to attend my first in-person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Valencia, Spain under the generous Dan Kohn scholarship by CNCF and Linux Foundation. In this article, I give you some glimpses of my experiences KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. These would be paired with some of my learnings from the conference which might help you too! -
