Kicked off the 2nd batch of Turing’s Dream, the AI residency that I run in Bangalore!
Here’s what they’re upto…
1/ Adithya S Kolavi @adithya_s_k is a 4th year engineering student at PES.
In 2024, he set a target to achieve 10k stars across his github repositories
His most famous one is Omniparse and has 5.5k stars, it's a library that converts unstructured data into structured data for LLMs github.com/adithya-s-k/om…
@adithya_s_k 2/ Arjun Balaji @kaizen797 - 4th year engineering.
He's working with UPI team to detect money laundering using graph NNs. (it has trillion edges, so fun problem!)
He's also working with a Harvard team to map MRI images over time to 3D space to see how brain structures change!
1/ First a teaser of the atmosphere in the hackhouse!
A 3 minute video featuring @NirantK, @dementorSam, @__hsuya and myself (made by @mistrymm7)
@NirantK @dementorSam @__hsuya @mistrymm7 2/ Now, to the projects..
@py_parrot worked on replicating Anthropic's toy models of superposition, and extended it by trying to see how sparsity and importance of features impact representation of features.
Turing’s Dream first batch - who is in it and what they’re upto.
🧵
1/ Praveen Chavali - @praveen_chavali is exploring the math of neural networks, and is trying to build a black box optimization method for compressing large models into smaller models.
At yesterday’s tech deep dive, he showed why GANs never converge.
@praveen_chavali 2/ Mehul Goyal - @observerforever is a former hedge fund guy who is now exploring how to model time series data using deep networks.
Yesterday, he explained the problem formulation of predicting sharpe ratio via a reinforcement learning kind of a setup.
