🎓PhD Spotlight: Karsten Roth Celebrate @confusezius, who defended his PhD on June 24th summa cum laude! Karsten has been an @ELLISforEurope and IMPRS-IS PhD student since May 2021, supervised by both @zeynepakata and @OriolVinyalsML. His research has been centered around robust and effective deployment of (large) neural networks in the real world, with particular focus on a method and data-centric perspective for : 🦾 (Multimodal) model pretraining 🧠 Model generalization, reuse and transferability research 🎆 Continual (multimodal) training of such models. During his PhD, Karsten interned @AIatMeta and @GoogleDeepMind, working on generalization in representation learning and large-scale multimodal pretraining techniques. 🏁 His next stop: @GoogleDeepMind in Zurich! Join us in celebrating Karsten's achievements and wishing him the best for his future endeavors! 🥳 👇Checkout his selected publications in top-tier conferences such as NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR or ICCV:
