Major Achievements
- •Co-authored 'Neural Architecture Search with Reinforcement Learning' (2016) with Quoc V. Le.
- •Showed a controller network could discover architectures competitive with hand-designed ones.
- •Co-developed AutoAugment and other learned data-augmentation methods.
- •Led post-training research at OpenAI, shaping how models are refined after pre-training.
