Agam Goyal

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Data Science, with a minor in Economic Analytics.

I work on a broad spectrum of problems across machine learning and deep learning. This past summer, I worked as a Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern at Amazon on the Alexa Devices Speech Middleware team, where I worked on making it easier for applications to achieve Alexa Voice Integration and built an application to help automate the end-to-end testing of Alexa's Speech functionalities.

Research

My research interests range across various domains under machine learning and deep learning, including development and utilization of Matrix and Tensor Decomposition techniques to understand emergent or latent properties of complex systems, Network Compression (model sparsity), Computer Vision (medical imaging and model reprogramming), and Natural Language Processing (cognitive sciences, simulating generative agent worlds). I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Hanbaek Lyu and Dr. Junjie Hu.

My other collaborators include Siddharth Suresh, Yun-Shiuan Chuang (UW-Madison), Diganta Misra (CMU), Richard Paul Yim (UCSF), and Pin-Yu Chen (IBM-Research).
