About the Author
Samsung R&D Institute in Bangalore, India. He has a PhD in statistical physics
from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India, and post-doctoral
experience from the Weizmann Institute, Israel, and Georgia Tech, USA. Prior to
joining Samsung, the author has worked for Amazon and Infosys Technologies,
developing machine learning-based applications for their products and platforms.
He also has several publications on Bayesian inference and its applications in areas
such as recommendation systems and predictive health monitoring. His current
interest is in developing large-scale machine learning methods, particularly for
natural language understanding.
I would like to express my gratitude to all those who have helped
me throughout my career, without whom this book would not
have been possible. This includes my teachers, mentors, friends,
colleagues, and all the institutions in which I worked, especially
my current employer, Samsung R&D Institute, Bangalore. A special
mention to my spouse, Prathyusha, and son, Pranav, for their
immense moral support during the writing of the book.
