Aarshvi Gajjar
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at NYU, where I am a part of the Theoretical Computer Science Group. My advisors are Christopher Musco and Chinmay Hegde.
Previously, I completed my masters from UMass Amherst, where I did my thesis with Cameron Musco. I also worked as a Strat at Goldman Sachs and earned my B.Tech. from IIIT Hyderabad.
Research
My research centers on randomized methods for sample and compute efficient learning. Some questions that interest me are:
- Can we apply techniques that are shown to be optimal for active linear regression to variants of the problem?
- What is the right way to use adaptive sampling for active learning?
- How is the data selection problem approached within the communities of experimental design, pure exploration, and Bayesian optimization?
- How can sketching/sampling be applied to improve foundation model performance?
