- Picking the right batch size.
- A TCS / statistical look at LLMs.
- Mind the gap.
Mortality
Over the years, I have worked on several mortality calculators:
- Classic first version: Mortality
- The newest one works for people over 50. It will tell you your optimal weight.
- A phone friendly version.
- Heart disease by ACC. (Not mine! I always assumed someone would create a much better calculator than the ones we created! I like this one a lot. But only hearts and not many variables.)
Family & Photos
- Old photos (old photos on facebook).
- My Dad shot a movie about India called The future for Ram (youtube). I only recently saw Apu and realized how much my dad's film is an homage to it.
- My parents created this picture book about Tibirita, Colombia. My sister Shanti scanned and translated it into Spanish.
- My grandfather built a lake (map) in upstate NY (youtube, mushrooms, bubbles).
Talks
- LLM: Alignment, TCS.
- NYC Ops day (RL for supply chain).
- Calibration: Simons, Calibeating, AMLC.
- CMU talks: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Rants
Some 20 year old rants and raves.
Refereeing
I'm a supporter of open access of science to everyone. Hence I will only referee for journals that are open access (OASPA).
