Ethan Fetaya

I'm a postdoctoral fellow in the machine learning group at the University of Toronto, working with Rich Zemel and Max Welling. I am interested in deep learning, reasoning using knowledge graphs and modeling complex dynamical behaviour.

Previously, I did my PhD at the Weizmann Inst. under the supervision of Shimon Ullman in computer vision.

I did my M.Sc in mathematics at the Hebrew University under the supervision of Alex Lubotzky on Homological Error Correcting Codes and Systolic Geometry.
