π Hey there, Iβm Kerui!
π Iβm a third-year student at the University of Sydney.
π¬ 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.
π€ Iβm always eager to learn from others and help out fellow machine learning enthusiasts, especially in the fields of AI Safety. Please reach out if youβre working on something similar.
π 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
