About Anand Avati
I am currently a Research Scientist at Apple (Special Projects Group). I am also a Lecturer at Stanford where I teach CS229, Stanford's hallmark Machine Learning course. Previously, I was a PhD candidate at the Stanford AI Lab (with Andrew Ng), where I was also the Technical Lead of the AI-Enabled ACP project (currently deployed and operational at Stanford Hospital, impacting patient care everyday). I am a lead-author and inventor of NGBoost (the first gradient boosting algorithm with probabilistic modeling capability). In the past, I was a Distinguished Engineer at the Red Hat CTO Office, which I joined as part of the acquisition of Gluster Inc, where I was a founding engineer, Lead Architect and maintainer of the open source distributed filesystem GlusterFS.
