We are a team on a mission to crack the puzzles that baffle even modern AI—challenges that humans solve instinctively. While our banner reads data science, our true north is crafting AI beings that not only think but also grow, much like humans. We navigate the cutting-edge, exploring fresh algorithms in reinforcement learning and meta-learning, all while keeping an eye on the horizon for the latest big-model breakthroughs. We also enrich the landscape by open-sourcing our contributions. In all we do, our compass is set on doing what is right and meaningful, rather than simply excelling at straightforward research.
