Ongoing Projects

  • Multi Modal Galaxies | AstroAI, Harvard Center for Astrophysics

    Experiments on Transformer-based Flow Matching to generate multimodal joint distributions.

  • Honest LLMs through introspection | AI Safety Argentina \& ICC

    Statistically sound measures of LLM confidence with probes.

Past projects

  • Visual Attention | Kreiman Lab, Harvard Medical School

    Do Neural Networks implicitly model Human visual attention?

  • Active Learning for more efficient LLM rankings | ICC

    Leveraging statistical active learning to make more efficient LLM comparisons

  • Fast non-parametric Bayesian algorithm for more efficient online experiments | Nueroscience Lab, UTDT

    A very fast algorithm that enables experiments to optimize their tasks on the fly

Teaching

  • Course coming up this August: Machine Learning for Astrophysics | UBA
  • Three separate graduate courses on: Statistics, Bayesian Statistics, Causal Inference | UBA
  • One very hands on course on Machine Learning | UdeSA
