James Fleming

Hi, my name is James and I'm an undergraduate studying computer science at UCSD hoping to someday work in academia. I am currently an undergraduate researcher with SEELab working on Hyperdimensional Computing and Online Algorithms, Georgia Tech Visiting Assistant Professor Xunpeng Huang on Sampling and Text Diffusion Models, and UCSD PhD Tongtong Liang on Generalization Theory and Learning Dynamics. I also previously did some work at QLab working on Continuous State Reasoning and Language Diffusion Models, the SOC Lab on Optimization Theory and the Computer Systems Intelligence Lab on Computer Vision.

My main research interests lie at the intersection of ML theory (spanning approximation, optimization, and generalization) and architecture/algorithm design. I also have a growing interest in purely theoretical computer science and pure math and a soft spot for rendering algorithms, both classical and differentiable.
