Meta-learning: Can we train a meta-learning system of models via communication.
Knowledge Communication: Can we utilize GPT models like ChatGPT in combination with other specialized models to solve more complex tasks using communication. Or could we use GPT models to assist in training multi-modal models using communication.

I am a determined student studying NLP at University of Waterloo advised by Yuntian Deng. Simultaneously, I am also nearly a professionally credentialed P&C Actuary (insurance engineer) with 6/7 exams fullfilled for associateship with the CAS. My research interests are in AI and ML. Right now is a very exciting time for AI with the advent of AI for everyone via ChatGPT. In the midst of the excitement I have identified one important area I wish to research, which is communication between LLM's. I believe communication frameworks are critical to enabling meta-learning capabilites.

I also enjoy bbq/smoking, basketball, pool, finance, golf and am a huge AMD fan in their pursuit to make AI GPU compute open and available to anyone.
