[APPRENTICE] AI Alignment, Machine Learning Research
I’m an incoming new grad SWE at Google and have a degree in Statistics and Data Science, to give an idea of my background and skillset. I have a modest amount of experience with machine/deep learning, mainly through coursework and a few personal projects (taken and TAd a class on Natural Language Processing, taken a survey Deep Learning class, wrote my undergraduate thesis on applying neural networks to causal inference problems). I’ve read a lot of the Alignment Forum and LessWrong sequences on AI alignment (Iterated Amplification, Value Learning, etc.) and would like to move into AI capability and safety research at some point in my career.
I may not have the right background or enough experience to be a useful apprentice for you but if you’d like to get in touch, you can reach me at anshuman.radhakrishnan@gmail.com
