Selected talks

Below are some talks I've given about research areas I'm interested in that haven't yet materialized into manuscripts:

• Transformers, LLMs, and what statistics can offer [slides]
• Some perspectives on frequentism and Bayesianism [slides]
• The modern dimensionality reduction toolkit [slides]

If you're interesting in collaborating in any of these areas, please reach out!
