Sambit Panda

AI Research Scientist @ MATRIX AI Consortium

I’m an AI Research Scientist at the MATRIX AI Consortium where I am developing a end-to-end solution for trauma care using AI. Previously, I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins, where I was advised by Joshua T. Vogelstein. Here’s a little bit more about me.

Research

Here are some of my favorite research articles. If you want to read more, take a look at the full publication list.

  1. 📄 Universally Consistent K-Sample Tests via Dependence Measures

    Introduces the idea that the k-sample testing problem and independence testing problem are equivalent up to a transformation of the data.

  2. 📝 hyppo: A Multivariate Hypothesis Testing Python Package

    Introduces hyppo, a package that incorporates conventional and novel multivariate hypothesis tests.

  3. 📝 Learning Interpretable Characteristic Kernels via Decision Forests

    Demonstrates the kernel derived from random forest is characteristic and develops a hypothesis test based on that fact (KMERF).

  4. 📄 The Chi-Square Test of Distance Correlation

    Derives an approximation to the p-value of distance correlation that bypasses the permutation test with no significant loss of power.

Software

I love solving difficult problems, and often times develop software to help. You can see more in the full software list.
