I work with the door open. I’ll update this site with every little project and research tangent, hopefully giving those who want to work with me a sort of live transcript to go off of.
Please talk to Jaden-Bot! It’s on the bottom-right corner, and knows a lot about me. If you want to work with me, call or text: (385) 327-2503
# current status
- Choosing grad schools to study deep learning.
- Researching hebbian gradient update rules. I’m building an RNN that uses local learning rules, hoping that, as an emergent behavior, it will encode medium-term “memories” within the weights themselves.
- Check out the report that benchmarks various local weight update rules. If you have any idea why they all seem to be converging to that arbitrary value, please email me!
- Researching patient trajectory embeddings for use in case control studies at a children’s hospital. I get paid for this one!
# side projects
- Slowly building up Convostarter, an app for language learning.
# backburner
- Revisiting an old experment; I wanted to augment WLASL – a word-level American Sign Language dataset – by running it through some stable diffusion models, perhaps guided by ControlNet. I have some proximity to the Deaf community, so I may be able to get some feedback on the results.
- Considering some sort of Visualize a Codebase system, allowing me to more quickly understand what’s going on in open source projects.
# finished projects
- Just built a chatbot on this site to allow people to interview “me” on-demand.
- An internship building document understanding for life science methods documents.
# goals
I really just want to work on new AI models.
