pc Keya HuWelcome to my web page.
I’m Ali Cy, an MEng doing machine learning at MIT advised by Kaiming He. In undergrad, I also did research under Vincent Sitzmann and Amir Zamir.
I am working in unsupervised vision and visual reasoning. An aspirational interest of mine is learning through interactions with an environment (evolution, artificial life, reinforcement learning, etc.)
My ultimate interest is in understanding unsupervised, emergent intelligence that has developed from scratch, such as human intelligence and animal intelligence. More than the details of how they work, I want to understand the necessary, general conditions under which they may develop.
