Adepu Ravi Sankar
PhD
I am a research scientist at Amazon, India. I work towards giving Machine Learning solutions to industry problems. Prior to Amazon, I did my post-doc at Verisk Analytics Inc. I obtained my Ph.D in Computer Science & Engineering department at the Indian Institute of Technlogy Hyderabad advised by Dr. Vineeth N Balasubramanian. My thesis is on 'Understanding the Loss Surface of Deep Neural Networks'. My research is focused on the design of algorithms for deep learning models with inferences from loss landscape geometry. My Ph.D. work brings together tools from convex optimization, numerical linear algebra, learning theory.
