Research Interests: My research focuses on the design and analysis of machine learning algorithms with rigorous guarantees, particularly in supervised, semi-supervised, and adversarial learning. I am also interested in randomized and local-search heuristics for learning, as well as learning from imbalanced and streaming data, both separately and at their intersection.
Across these areas, I seek to establish statistical and computational bounds or computational hardness results, and I complement this theoretical work with careful empirical evaluation when formal guarantees are not available.
During the last couple of years my students and I are investigating semi-supervised learning, regularization methods, learning with streaming data, and related topics.
In the past I have worked on reasoning with knowledge bases and on interpretability of word embeddings. Furthermore, I have also worked on multi-agent protocols and orchestration of multi-agent systems. In the distant past I have also done some work in computer algebra.
- Fundamentals for Binary Classification under Label Noise,
Dimitrios I. Diochnos.
This is a book chapter contributed to a book that celebrates the 35 years of the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) series. The book is edited by the founders of the ISAIM series, Marty Golumbic and Fred Hoffman. The book chapter has been submitted and the book will be launched by Springer at the American Mathematical Society (AMS) Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) 2027 that will take place in Chicago in January of 2027. I plan to be there and I will be happy to discuss more about it with you there. -
