I’m currently investigating whether models can predict how RL training will affect them, using privileged access to their internals.

I like:

  • America
  • The phenomenon of grokking / phase transitions
  • People / things with Markovian property
  • Proactivity
  • Have I mentioned I like America? I really like America.
  • Musicals
  • Mathematical modelling, particularly phase plane analysis and Markov chains
  • Bridging artificial intelligence with the physical world
  • Unpretentiousness
  • Nondogmatism, thinking for oneself
  • Dissolving problems
  • The anti-inductive & open-ended
  • Precision
