Projects

Literature notes

Ongoing notes on the various papers and textbooks I read. [Link]

Contrastive Learning with autoregressive decoder

Implemented a contrastive learning algorithm (AMDIN) which uses a pixelCNN decoder. [Code]

Multimodal VQ-VAE

Implemented a multi-modal VQ-VAE which takes in RGB and infrared image data into a joint latent space which can then be used to decode the differnet modalites.[Code]

Adversarial Learning in a Predator-Prey game

Training a predator and prey in a simultaenosuly using reinforcement learning and examining the learning dynamics of the agents by fitting decision trees to the policies learnt by the different agents.
