Select Machine Learning Projects

Personalized Self-Explaining Image Classifier

Developed an RL framework which provides end users with sequential personalized explanations for the behavior of an image classifier.

The AI agent will predict what explanations you'll find most helpful as you learn how to simulate its behavior.

Presented at ICML 2020 Workshop on Human Interpretability in Machine Learning (Spotlight)

Concussion Assessment with EEG Signals using Support Vector Machine

Developed an SVM model which predicts whether a patient has had a concussion, using features from EEG readings.

Presented at IEEE EMBC 2015 (Late-Breaking Paper)
