Founded in 2018, AMISTAD Lab is an undergraduate research laboratory directed by George D. Montañez, PhD, currently an assistant professor at Harvey Mudd College, in Claremont, CA. The AMISTAD Lab (Artificial Machine Intelligence = Search Targets Awaiting Discovery) is a lab focused on pursuing foundational theoretical work in machine learning from a search and information theory perspective. This involves formalizing areas of machine learning as either searches or communication problems, and proving results related to machine learning, information theory, and search within those frameworks.
