🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
Currently, I am working as a research assistant at the Faculty of ICT, Mahidol University (MUICT) on the project of federated learning in the medical images field. While working on this research project, I had a chance to use MU AI Center, a SLURM-based computer cluster of Mahidol University, which ignited my passion for performance tuning. I would love to share my experience in using PyTorch in deep learning research. Although many people have been sharing this in many forms, blogs, and video tutorials, they are barely written in Thai. I would like to fill in that gap.
During my Bachelor's study, I founded MUICT's AI club and arranged several workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions on basic deep learning. Even though, now, I am not the club's president anymore, I occasionally find an interesting speaker to arrange some events at the club. AI Club and I also hosted a hackathon on detecting an alveolar antral artery in CBCT images, we would love to arrange another hackathon, collaborating with PyTorch.
Several weeks ago, I had a chance to join the Super AI Engineer boot camp, the camp for training AI engineers. To my surprise, most of the people in the camp never have any experience with performance tuning. I decided to give a lightning talk on the basics of training performance tuning because I believe that people better learn about performance tuning early in their study so that they would be not stuck with long training time. I am willing to share this knowledge of PyTorch with the boarder audience.
In summary, I would love to
- Creates more PyTorch content especially in Thai.
- Host events, ex. Hackathon, on collaborating with PyTorch.
- Organizes workshops on advanced PyTorch techniques, such as performance tuning, in universities or the Python Community.Any additional details you'd like to share?
