Hi, I am Piotr, and my surname means an Almond!
I am a freelance deep learning consultant with a Ph.D. in quantum physics, p.migdal.pl and @pmigdal.
Curiosity is the primary motivation in my life. But there is one thing I enjoy more than learning: sharing knowledge. I do whatever it takes: simplifying ideas, writing code, creating interactive data visualizations, or even - developing games.
I book 30% of my time for projects for the public good. I believe that as much possible knowledge should be free and accessible. So, I write technical blog posts, contribute to open source projects, lead collaborative projects, organize events, give workshops to students and mentor people.
Examples
Blog posts
- Simple diagrams of convoluted neural networks - on data visualization for deep learning
- king - man + woman is queen; but why? - on word embeddings with word2vec and GloVe
- Learning Deep Learning with Keras and Data science intro for math/phys background
Open source projects
See p.migdal.pl/projects for more. Right now I focus on:
- Part 2 of Quantum Game with Photons - it's coming soon
pip install
livelossplot - Jupyter Notebook charts for Keras and PyTorch- Thinking in Tensors, Writing in PyTorch - hands-on intro to deep learning in Colab
Moreover, I am not afraid of edgy projects, see e.g. Does AI have a dirty mind, too? by one of my mentees.
Call
I want to keep it free and open-source. As you imagine, it all takes time and effort. Every contribution gives:
- ⏰ Time I can safely use to develop such projects.
- ❤️ Support and motivation. There are ups and downs.
- 🙋♀️ A person to be accountable to. I have ADHD and finishing things just for myself is hard. Finishings things for you will be easier!
