πŸ‘‹ Hey there, I’m Kerui!

πŸ“š I’m a third-year student at the University of Sydney.

πŸ”¬ My passion is applied deep learning, especially fields with high impact. I also am deeply passionate about building and aligning harmless, honest and helpful AI systems.

🀝 I’m always eager to learn from others and help out fellow machine learning enthusiasts, especially in the fields of AI Safety. Please reach out if you’re working on something similar.

πŸ” Currently Exploring

  • Interpretability in large language models
  • Reinforcement learning methods, e.g. PPO for game playing
  • Applications of SOTA AI methods towards traditional science problems, e.g. enyzme design

🌱 What I Value

  • Building systems that are useful, honest, and kind (and also embodying those values yourself)
  • Open-source collaboration and community learning, especially teaching others!
  • Learning (and failing) every single day
