• ## The do-calculus of sampling from restricted Boltzmann machines

Generative models, in particular energy-based models, are often used to sample from conditional distributions–a process known as inpainting. One of the most fundamental kinds of generative energy-based models is called a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), which is essentially a bipartite,...
• ## Using the Open Game engine to model MEV

(This is an update on my Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. More updates can be found here ). Extracting value from Uniswap transactions In this post, I will outline a way in which the equilibrium analysis from the Open Game engine can...

• ## Sharing pie in an Open Game

(This is an update on my Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. More updates can be found here ). In order to get more familiar with the Open Game Engine, I wanted to implement a game myself. One of my favourite games is...
• ## Elementary Open Games as String diagrams

(This is an update on my Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. More updates can be found here ). The Open Game engine compiles the DSL to Haskell. The DSL describes the externals (dangling wires) and internals (compositional structure) of an open game....
• ## Ethereum Fellowship: Update 1

(This is an update on my Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. More updates can be found here ). [2022.10.18] Initial note Initial idea: discuss the usage of the Open Game engine with Barnabé Monnot. A demo is presented from 3:51 on here....
• ## The Ethereum Protocol Fellowship

I have been granted an Ethereum Protocol Fellowship, which provides me with a mentor who can help me get started on a project related to the Ethereum system. In my case, I have been interested in compositional game theory for...
• ## Abstract for Network Biology Conference

UPDATE Feb 2021: Success! I will be presenting a poster at the conference this March. I have submitted the following abstract to the CSHL Network Biology conference which will take place in March. It represents the second half of my...
• ## Article on Constructor Theory

There is this theory, mainly developed by David Deutsch at Oxford, called Constructor Theory. I tickles my brain in all the right ways; It’s a fundamental theory of reality, but not reductionistic in the way that other fundamental theories in...
• ## Geometric correlations

This is the first post in a series on dualities in statistics and machine learning. It's a good start because it's a simple and short example of the kind of dualities I like. It's not particularly useful, but shows how...
• ## So I have a website now

Right, so I now have this page. It’s my personal webpage, blog, online CV, extended brain. I don’t know yet what will be on it, so I’m operating under the working-title Curiomics. The name is inspired by the trend in...
