Episode 265: Where ZK and ML intersect with Yi Sun and Daniel Kang

This week, Anna Rose (https://twitter.com/annarrose) and Tarun Chitra (https://twitter.com/tarunchitra) dive back into the topic of ZK ML with guests Yi Sun (https://twitter.com/theyisun), co-founder of Axiom (https://www.axiom.xyz/), and Daniel Kang (https://twitter.com/daniel_d_kang), Assistant Professor of computer science at UIUC (https://cs.illinois.edu/about/people/faculty/ddkang). They discuss Yi and Daniel’s previous academic work and what led them to get interested in ZK topics and specifically ZK ML. They then dive into a discussion about 2 recent papers which examine the use of ZK within Machine Learning architectures.
