I’m Uzay (pronounced ooze-eye), undergrad studying Math & CS, physics at MIT. I do theory of deep learning research in the Isola lab, and am currently particularly interested in a) the dynamics of in context adaptivity, and b) building robust legible world models that allow for improved long horizon performance and human empowerment.

Interests: poetry/literature, writing, climbing, pure math, programming, mountains

Things I get up to:

• trying to get better at research
• Amateur poetry, philosophy and writing
• I think AI will change the world and want to figure out what to do about it at MAIA
• I want to build better interfaces for learning and creativity using AI.

Things I have affiliation to: Pika, Fabric, Emergent Ventures, France.

Links: twitter, github, goodreads.

Check out my blog - Here is some stuff I’ve written: the machine has no mouth and it must scream, on climbing, beyond good and evil.

Or if you are curious a list of some things I’ve done (research/projects), like this paper or this knowledge management software.

I’d recommend my wiki if you want to get a deep dive into a lot of the things I’m interested in.

Here’s a subset of my dear friends: Yudhi, Hamidah, Kaivu, Will, Gavin, Euan, Nils, Kai, Atticus.
