Jun 27, 2026 Our paper Distributionally robust risk evaluation with an isotonic constraint has been accepted to Information and Inference: A Journal of IMA. This paper offers an approach that utilizes side information (e.g. shape constraints) to balance the misspecification of sample reweighting and the over-pessimism of distributionally robust learning!
May 11, 2026 New preprint adaptive discovery of effect modification in matched observational studies: a finite-sample valid procedure to identify covariate-interpretable subgroups with exact subgroup-level FDR control, robust to unmeasured confounding via sensitivity models and powered by multiple matched controls.
Sep 28, 2025 multi-modal contrastive learning adapts to intrinsic dimensions has been accepted to NeurIPS 2025.
  • We present a theoretical analysis of CLIP, showing how temperature optimization enables adaptation to the intrinsic dimension of shared features in multi-modal data (poster).
  • A more recent work proposes IndiSeek which learns modality-specific features that are independent of shared features.
Sep 17, 2025 I’m honored to be awarded the IMS Lawrence D. Brown Ph.D. Award!
Apr 02, 2025 Our paper Conformal Prediction: A Data Perspective has been accepted to ACM Computing Surveys.
Sep 26, 2024 Our paper Conformal Alignment has been accepted to NeurIPS 2024!
  • This paper guarantees the safe and reliable deployment of foundation model outputs (poster).
  • A more recent paper ACS on interactive conformal selection.
Jun 30, 2024 I’m happy to be awarded the William Rainey Harper Dissertation Fellowship!
Dec 31, 2023 Presented conformalized matrix completion at NeurIPS 2023 and ICSDS 2023 (poster).
