Motivation

A colleague recently asked me what problems I enjoy working on, so I've been thinking more and more about where I draw enjoyment from, especially in my diffusion model project, but also from other previous projects and what I have worked on for others. This post is to organise …

Project

This project builds a Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) on CIFAR-10 that has been upscaled to 64x64.

Introduction

After exploring diffusion on MNIST datasets, I have continued exploring more, successfully building a LDM on CIFAR-10 data. This post covers the first phase of a currently three month project helping to …

The Problem: TSP

The Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is one of the most famous combinatorial optimisation problems. It is incredibly easy to state: Given a list of cities and the distances between each pair, find the shortest route that visits each city exactly once and then returns to the first …

Demo

Before I even get started on what I've done, here is a demo that you can play with.

Introduction

After playing around with reconstruction and classification of MNIST digits last week and talking to a few colleagues about the project, I decided to investigate diffusion models. I broadly knew …

Introduction

This blog post is about my attempts to learn about self-supervised learning. Most of my background is in reinforcement learning as opposed to any kind of supervised learning, so I feel I need to broaden my knowledge and be aware of how to actually structure projects, issues that can …

Introduction

There's a game I play called Farmer Against Potatoes Idle. Much like is implied by the name, it is an idle game. For those not familiar with this genre of games, they are designed to require only occasional input. Cookie Clicker is another idle game, and was an instrumental …

Introduction

When talking about an algorithms complexity, we are typically referring to an estimate of the time and space required to execute the algorithm. For this article, we will focus on the time requirements, but the space requirements are quite analogous. Normally the time and space required are functions of …

Over the past few weeks I have been toying with the idea of writing a more technical focused blog for a variety of reasons.

1. As I advance through my career I regularly hit a wall where I believe I have knowledge that is useful to solving business problems, but I …
