I've been poking around the space for quite a while as Thuring can probably tell you. But ZK was the first thing where I felt like my technical skills could be a good fit for what's needed in space. And I think ZK is kind of the perfect mashup of, you know, you need to know some math and also have to make a performant production system.
This week, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra dive back into the topic of ZK ML with guests Yi Sun, co-founder of Axiom, and Daniel Kang, Assistant Professor of computer science at UIUC. 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.
