Kernel methods, Meta-learning

A second year DPhil student as part of the OxWaSP program, supervised by Professor Dino Sejdinovic and Professor Yee Whye Teh. My research interests lie in the use of kernel methods in the meta-learning setup. I am also interested in Gaussian processes and un/self-supervised learning.
