About
My name is Divy. I'm a second year at the University of Toronto studying ML and Math. This blog is my space to share what I've been learning about AI/ML and keep my progress up on learning more about ML/AI.
My interests are broadly in Deep Learning, Generative AI, AI in Healthcare, AI Safety and Alignment, Abstract Algebra, and Computational Neuroscience. I also enjoy a variety of music!
