I am a fourth-year PhD student working with Arthur Gretton at Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL. I am expected to finish my PhD study at the end of 2017. I received M.Eng. from Tokyo Institute of Technology where I worked with Masashi Sugiyama on supervised feature selection using squared-loss mutual information. Before that I was a research assistant working with Thanaruk Theeramunkong on a Thai news relations discovery project. I received B.Sc. in Computer Science from SIIT, Thammasat university, Thailand.
My works are listed on this page. I occasionally update my blog summarizing what I learn. Some photos I have taken are on Flickr. I also maintain a web site for Gatsby's machine learning journal club.

Interpretable Two-Sample Test – The goal of this project is to learn a set of features to distinguish two given distributions P and Q, as observed through two samples. This task is formulated as a two-sample test problem. (05/2016)
Locally Linear Latent Variable Model (LL-LVM) – LL-LVM is a probabilistic model for non-linear manifold discovery that describes a joint distribution over observations, their manifold coordinates and locally linear maps conditioned on a set of neighbourhood relationships. (09/2015)
Learning to Pass EP Messages – In this project, we propose learning a kernel-based message operator that replaces the multivariate integral required in classical EP to compute an outgoing message given incoming messages. The operator allows fast computations of outgoing messages and can be updated online cheaply during EP inference. (03/2015)
$\ell_1$-LSMI – A supervised feature selection algorithm based on a squared-loss variant of mutual information. Implementation is available in Matlab. (03/2013)
