:green_book: This repo generates my personal blog

Welcome to my GitHub.com profile! 👋

My name is Carl Thomé. I'm a computer scientist focused on machine learning and music technology. My primary interest in life is music and I'm a music information retrieval (MIR) enthusiast. I love digital signal processing (DSP) but I'm particularly interested in associative memory for artificial neural networks (ANNs). My current love is differentiable programming and self-supervised learning. I mistakingly think I'd like to learn category theory. Automatic differentiation go brrr.

🤔 Some personal beliefs

• Scientific knowledge should be accessible to everyone.
• Engineering is an artistic craft that deserves practice.
• Everyone can learn mathematics if it's taught right.
• Free software alternatives are important for a society.
• Collaborating beats competing.
• Prestige kills creativity.
• Formalisms are fun but secondary to intuition.
• Following interests is more important than having a career.
