Jonathan Frankle graduates with Ph.D. from MIT EECS

Jonathan Frankle, supervised by PI Michael Carbin (MIT), graduated from MIT EECS with a PhD. The subject of his dissertation was his notable work on the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis, which received a Best Paper Award from ICLR in 2019. The work was the first to show that within large neural networks, there exist subnetworks that train as well as the larger network but can be an order of magnitude smaller. Jonathan is a future faculty member at Harvard University and in the meantime is Chief Scientist at MosaicML.
