me

Hi! I’m Karthik Singaravadivelan, a Computer Science + Psychology Major and Stamps President’s Scholar at Georgia Institute of Technology studying the intersection of cognitive science Cognitive Science:
The study of thought, learning, and mental organization, which draws on aspects of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer modeling.  with modern applications of artificial intelligence Intelligence:
Intelligence is the ability to handle new situations with little or no prior training, and, in my opinion, should be measured by the speed of learning and not the end of performance (we assume perfection by "good enough", as humans learn). . Specifically, I’m interested in how we can recreate human-like performance by iterating on principles of human-like learning, to promote safe, interpretable, and sustainable artificial intelligence.

now

I'm actively involved in lab efforts that pursue a variety of research thrusts, but my immediate goals can all be linked towards developing new strategies of cognition, iterating on knowledge representations, and leveraging properties of the brain and mind in humans to cultivate robust and sustainable learning. In my free time, I write my thoughts, opinions, and stories here, in the hopes that they inspire and call others to action and discussion. If that's you, reach out!

tomorrow

In my future, I hope to pursue a Computer Science PhD arguing the importance of fundamental tenets of human-like learning and intelligence in the global AI movement by developing neuro-symbolic Neuro-symbolic:
A type of architecture that integrates neural and symbolic AI architectures to address the weaknesses of each, providing a robust AI capable of cognitive modeling. artificial intelligence, hoping to take advantage of these fundamental tenets to further the path to AGI. In a broader sense, I am excited to see the discovery of superintelligence Superintelligence:
If intelligence is the ability to handle new situations with little or no prior training, then progress towards greater intelligence achieves new frontiers on the tradeoff between data and performance on new tasks. With respect to this tradeoff, superintelligence is the feat of ultimate generalization with little or no data in the space. , the restructuring of modern capitalism for the prioritization of scientific discovery, and innovations in the education system that prime future generations to find their why.
