A few things
I’ve taught
machines.

I’m Sepehr. I build and study learning systems,
from game-playing agents to medical imaging.

05 / Visual robustness

A change of scenery.

Ceramic and metal track before transformation.
Original
blur transformation of the same composition, intensity 45 of 100.
Blurred

Turn it up45%

An image transformation to try. The study compared three training recipes across 50 conditions.

06 / Poker & detectability

The price of
a poker face.

≥ +1.95

Mixed honest agents

≥ +0.51

Selfish CFR agents

Same detector family. Different definitions of honest. Best-found values in chips per hand.

02 / About

The human bit.

I started with olympiad problems.
Now the experiments run in Python.

My background is in computer science at Western University. My work spans learning agents, medical imaging, retrieval, and game theory.
