About Me
My name is Youssef Nader, I am a PhD student at Freie University, working on ML, AI Explainability and Self-Supervised learning. I am also a member of the Landgraf research group, we do cool machine learning stuff with bees and fish, from modeling, to communicating and explaining their behavior.
For the past eight months I have been working on the Vesuvius Challenge, building AI ink detection models, it has been quite a rewarding journey!
I find it more fruitful to approach a problem by thinking that a solution already exists, and you only need to find it.
