About

Passionate Machine Learning Engineer at Nightingale Caring Solutions. Areas of most interest are currently Transformer models and Multi-Task Learning. The work being done at OpenAI is a huge inspiration for me, and I've trained a few models on their GPT-2 for domain-specific tasks. In the future, I hope to work on sparsification techniques to democratize Machine Learning.
