Where ZK and ML intersect with Yi Sun and Daniel Kang
This week, https://twitter.com/annarrose (Anna Rose) and https://twitter.com/tarunchitra (Tarun Chitra) dive back into the topic of ZK ML with guests https://twitter.com/theyisun (Yi Sun), co-founder of https://www.axiom.xyz/ (Axiom), and https://twitter.com/daniel_d_kang (Daniel Kang), Assistant Professor of computer science at https://cs.illinois.edu/about/people/faculty/ddkang (UIUC). They discuss Yi and Daniel’s previous academic work and what led them to get interested in ZK topics and specifically ZK ML. They then dive into a discussion about 2 recent papers which examine the use of ZK within Machine Learning architectures.
