me

• I think I’m a nerd, and I also think that being a nerd is nice.

• I’m not good with words and expressing myself clearly, I am actively working on it, by writing my thoughts down and by talking to myself.

• I talk to myself a lot, which makes me seems weird sometime.

• I’m curious, sometime too curious, which is both a good thing and a bad thing

• I can be stubborn sometime, which does not pair well with being curious

• I’m not good at regulating my attention

  • If I find something interesting, I can easily get sucked into it

• I’m not very smart, and I’m trying to prove myself wrong

• I like to learn new stuff and to understand how things work.

  • Sadly I usually not smart enough for that

• I want to have a lot of knowledge, and someday become very knowledgeable in my field of work, which happens to be ML

  • for me this field is interesting because it’s empirical and intuition-oriented

• I find joy in creating something that is intellectually novel and people enjoy using.

• I believe in the compound effect of small improvements, but I dream of making a big leap

• I like to think that I’m creative and have a lot of ideas

  • With my thoughts documented, I now have a quantitative indicator of how creative I am.

• but the quality of my ideas is limited by the lack of my knowledge

  • The relationship between knowledge and creativity

• I am good at coming up with idea, but not with storing them.

• I enjoy experimenting with machine learning techniques and applying intuition and creativity to model development.

• I lean toward the ML/modelling itself more than toward its downstream applications.

• I like to ask why and what if questions, and I have more questions than I have answers to.
