AI projects for the UAE's R&D innovation arms

Founded and led a team at a UC Berkeley-funded startup building an OS for knowledge management and large world simulation via digital mirror objects of everything in an enterprise: from IoT objects, to oil rigs, to PDFs.

Built with the principles of MMO games (like Star Citizen) but for simulating enterprise objects instead of game objects. All interactive via a spatial interface and computable via intelligent agents (Oracles in the Telosphere). Similar to Palantir's Foundry platform which we didn't know at the time (their "ontology" analogy is our "teleology" analogy! ha!) Inspired by Minority Report's interface that facilitates near instant compilation and understanding of massive amounts of disparate information.

Collaborators inc. Berkeley AI Research Lab, the Visual Thinking Lab, the Santa Fe Institute, the OED Researchers Group, Northwestern University, NSF Innovation Corps. Research areas included deep learning models for text-to-glyphs (models that can express abstract ideas via real-time drawings), semantic search (query understanding, question-answering, etc), and multi-agent systems.

Vision models at the edge, differential privacy, efficient ML. Spin-out of graduate courses I took in deep RL and operating systems. Advised by Joey Gonzalez, John Kubiatowicz.
