Paroma Varma is the co-founder and head of solutions at Snorkel AI, and earned her doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Her research focused on democratizing machine learning for domain experts who lack access to large datasets necessary for training intricate models, thus making complex AI technologies more accessible and impactful for a broader audience. She applied these methods in diverse fields such as medical imaging and autonomous driving.
The latest from Paroma
Proposing Dugong, the first framework to model multi-resolution weak supervision sources with complex correlations to assign probabilistic labels to training data.
This work focuses on a robust PCA-based algorithm for learning these dependency structures, establish improved theoretical recovery rates, and outperform existing methods on various real world tasks.
Introducing BabbleLabble, a framework for training classifiers in which an annotator provides a natural language explanation for each labeling decision.
Presenting Coral, a paradigm that infers generative model structure, significantly reducing the amount of data required to learn structure.
Introducing Socratic learning, a paradigm that uses feedback from a discriminative model to automatically identify latent data subsets in training data.
