My name is Alain Raymond-Sáez. I’m currently a PhD student at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, advised by Álvaro Soto. My current interests lie in understanding how neural networks learn and evolve during training. In particular, I am focusing my efforts in introducing new ways to train deep models based on ideas of how children learn.
I’m also interested generally in inductive biases as a whole, so if you have a good article/idea on why some models are able to extrapolate I’ll be glad to listen to it!
My story
I got my undergrad in Engineering (Majored in Computer Science) at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. I worked at LATAM Airlines and at the Office of the Presidency (Segpres) before returning for my PhD. I love travelling, roleplaying games and history.
