I completed my PhD at the University of Michigan.
My adviser was Honglak Lee.
Currently I am a senior research scientist at DeepMind.
Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/reedscottMy current research topics are related to representation learning and deep learning, scalable object detection, multimodal learning, learning to disentangle factors of variation in sensory data, visual analogy-making, and learning compositional programs. Broadly I am interested in neural architectures that can automatically learn feature representations with strong generalization properties in a data-efficient manner.
