Aditya Dutta · Emory University · Computer science, mathematics, and economics

I build machine learning systems for markets, graphs, and simulation.

What I care about most is seeing how principles from different fields can combine and improve one another, especially across computer science, mathematics, and economics.

Now
  • Doing summer research through Emory's SURE program.
  • Extending the Tang Lab off-policy evaluation work.
  • Joining Emory's Fed Challenge team this fall.

Tang AI Lab

Offline RL & policy evaluation · Emory University

Feb 2026 to present

First-authored an accepted ICML 2026 DEMO workshop paper arguing that effective sample size is not a universal uncertainty diagnostic for off-policy evaluation, and that CI width and empirical coverage are stronger cross-estimator signals. Built reward-noise and distribution-shift stress tests that isolate where effective sample size stays stable even as estimator variance and absolute error climb.

AI & Simulation Lab

Multi-agent coordination & graph memory · Emory University

Jan 2026 to present

First-authored Stigmergic Graph Memory (SGM), a paper under review at AAAI-27 that reframes endpoint selection in many-to-many warehouse pickup and delivery as a congestion-control decision, not just a routing one. SGM is a bounded, decaying graph-memory layer that reads recent execution signals on warehouse nodes and directed edges to rank which source–destination pairs enter the planner, while a feasibility proof keeps every plan collision-free. Across paired benchmarks on five layouts, three fleet sizes, and 25 seeds, it beats two reconstructed many-to-many baselines in all 15 conditions, with throughput gains of 20.5–36.7%.

ViTAL Lab

Machine learning & bioinformatics · Georgia Tech & Emory University

Jan 2025 to present

Built a Swift-to-AWS Amplify sync layer for continuous mobile-health data collection, raising background-collection uptime by over 150% while cutting daily battery use by roughly 65%. Wrote Python and TensorFlow pipelines that process 200,000+ daily multimodal data points into participant-level time-series features for downstream clinical AI research.

03About

I'm a computer science, mathematics, and economics student at Emory University (GPA 3.98, graduating May 2028). Before Emory I spent two years as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal specialist and technical lead in the Singapore Armed Forces, where I first started building software to make real operations run better.

These days I work across three research labs (offline-RL evaluation, graph learning for agent simulation, and mobile-health machine learning) and build quant and systems projects on the side. The thread through most of it is the same: build the system, then test whether it does what it claims.
