We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy.
I explain some of the highlights of my internship projects as a Research Engineer at Govtech.
Building a Vision Transformer (ViT) from scratch
Spring 2025
In this project, I build a Vision Transformer for image classification.
In this project, I build the basic self-attention mechanism (used in large language models) to calculate the attention scores of an input sentence.
In this project, I build a LSTM-based model using Pytorch and some math, and we will compare its performance against our previous RNN model in generating sentences.
In this project, I build a RNN using only NumPy and some math, and it will be used to generate text.
Building a Neural Network from scratch
Fall 2024
In this project, I build an image classifying neural network using only NumPy and some math.
In this project, I study the effectiveness of Singular Value Decomposition and the Fourier Transform on image compression tasks.
