About
This is Vy /vi:/.
I'm a researcher and it happens to be about AI. In an era this wild, there is no limit to what you must study, though my energy tends to orbit a few core themes:
- Graphical, latent, and world models
- Theoretical foundations and applications of Causality
- Agency, planning and decision making
As a devoted student of causality, I come to understand and connect vast aspects of life through its prism. We are pure wanderers within this labyrinth of causes and effects, which we yearn to be disentangled from.
There is a certain wonder in tracing these threads while envisioning a future dominated by intelligent machines. May the wiser creatures prevail.
Above all, I am a life enthusiast. I do all what it takes to have a life well-lived: write, love, talk, travel, contemplate and eat good food. I am also a keen writer, engaged in various forms of storytelling: from screenplays, musicals to song lyrics and poetry.
Background
I graduated from a Business school and spent around 3 years in Sales, Media Production and Growth Marketing before taking a leap of faith. Now I am a PhD Candidate at Monash University, gratefully funded by CSIRO's Data61, Australia.
