- Senior Fellow and cofounder, Unconventional AI2
Michael Carbin is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and heads the Programming Systems Group in CSAIL, which studies the design, semantics and implementation of language-driven systems, with a focus on systems that operate under uncertainty, such as those implemented with neural networks or run on unreliable hardware. Carbin is also a Senior Fellow and cofounder of Unconventional AI, whose author page notes that Carbin was a founding advisor for MosaicML. With Jonathan Frankle, Carbin co-authored "The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis: Finding Sparse, Trainable Neural Networks" (2018), which proposes that dense, randomly initialized networks contain smaller subnetworks that can be trained in isolation to comparable accuracy.123
