An AI enthusiast who sometimes prefers conventional wisdoms

About

I am an incoming Computer Science student at Georgia Tech with an interest in AI. I'm currently still exploring my interest in both LLMs and traditional CV.

Throughout my high school years, I have participated in various AI competitions and research projects, which have helped me build a somewhat solid foundation both in the technical and academic sides of AI.
