akshat@tech:~$ cat philosophy.txt

When I first started learning AI, I thought better models came from adding more layers,
more parameters, or more compute.
The more I learnt, the more I found myself asking a different question.
Instead of making models bigger, can we help them understand the world better?

That curiosity has slowly pulled me towards representation learning,
data-centric AI, and understanding what models actually perceive
rather than simply optimizing benchmark numbers.

I don't have all the answers yet, but I hope I never stop asking the questions.

Long term, I hope to contribute towards scalable,
interpretable and data-centric AI systems capable of solving
real-world problems.
