Mar 05, 2024 | Our paper introducing a method to train generative networks for probabilistic forecasting using scoring rules has been published in Journal of Machine Learning Research! |
Feb 01, 2024 | I co-authored an op-ed on the OECD.AI policy website about how an exemption for “therapeutic purposes” in the EU AI Act could serve as a loophole. |
Jan 16, 2024 | Our paper How to Catch an AI Liar: Lie Detection in Black-Box LLMs by Asking Unrelated Questions has been accepted at ICLR 2024! |
Aug 01, 2023 | I am happy to communicate that I will join the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge in October 2023 |
Jul 15, 2023 | Today, I formally graduated from my PhD at Oxford! |
Dec 20, 2022 | I won a travel award at the International Conference for Statistics and Data Science by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. I really enjoyed the opportunity to present my work there! |
Nov 17, 2022 | On the 9th of November, I successfully defended my PhD thesis . A profound thanks to my examiners Chris Holmes and Chris Oates for their insightful comments and suggestions. |
Jun 03, 2022 | I have two preprints on arXiv exploring an alternative to adversarial training to train generative networks; the first applies it to probabilistic forecasting, while the second is concerned with Likelihood-Free Inference. I feel that is a promising overlooked approach. Happy to hear any feedback! |
Mar 16, 2022 | I have created a website aimed at listing works on using Neural Networks in Bayesian Likelihood-Free Inference I have added the papers I am aware of, but please contribute others you may know (see “About” page for how). |
