Hi, I'm Zaid

An aspiring student at UC Berkeley studying Statistics, with a minor in Computer Science & Philosophy. My current focus is on Multimodal agents, Reinforcement Learning, Transfer Learning, and Philosophy in AI. I am trying to connect my areas in Statistics & Philosophy to push the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence.
