Srivatsa Kundurthy
Srivatsa Kundurthy is a student based in the Greater New York City Area. As a Python practitioner, his projects include Open Source Intelligence tools for extracting public data and Python notebooks for explaining and simulating chaotic dynamical systems. His work in machine learning includes studying computer vision applications and researching neural networks for predicting states of chaotic dynamical systems. Additionally, he is working with the LAION Research Group and has co-authored LAION-5B, the world's largest open-source image-text dataset and the source dataset for Stable Diffusion. Apart from Machine Learning Research, Srivatsa is greatly interested in technology policy and community-related issues, particularly those extending to the accessibility of programming education. On the side, Srivatsa enjoys science communication and stargazing.
Sessions
Lightning Talks are short 5-10 minute sessions presented by community members on a variety of interesting topics.
Python drives Machine Learning advancements in numerous fascinating scientific areas, one of which is chaos theory. Chaos theory is the study of systems that appear random but are completely deterministic, such as the double pendulum. Due to factors such as open-source libraries and an active community, Python has allowed for new machine learning progress for more efficient understanding of chaos theory, particularly with the application of ML models for new perspectives on problems considered “unsolvable”. In this talk, we discuss Python implementations of physics-informed neural networks, PINNs, for chaotic physics scenarios. The key takeaways are a refreshing introduction to the fascinating field of chaos theory and an appreciation for how Python is impacting physics research.
