Heinrich Jiang is a Research Scientist at Google with 13 years of experience applying machine learning and quantitative methods to real-world problems, from cloud networking to high-frequency trading. He focuses on large language models, data labeling and noisy-label robustness, constrained optimization, fairness, and model interpretability, and has driven R&D that spans both theory and production. A summa cum laude Princeton mathematician, he combines rigorous mathematical training with hands-on systems experience gained across Google engineering roles and quantitative trading desks. Notably, his background in creating high-frequency trading signals informs a pragmatic, data-driven approach to uncertainty estimation and active learning in ML systems. Based in Mountain View, he blends research-grade publications with product-minded development to move advances from prototype to scale.

To Trust Or Not To Trust A Classifier. A measure of uncertainty for any trained (possibly black-box) classifier which is more effective than the classifier's own implied confidence (e.g. softmax probability for a neural network).

A clustering algorithm that first finds the high-density regions (cluster-cores) of the data and then clusters the remaining points by hill-climbing. Such seedings act as more stable and expressive cluster-cores than the singleton modes found by popular algorithm such as mean shift. (https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.07909)
