Joel Iventosch

I am an AI enthusiast with a passion for machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. I am also an entrepreneur at heart, and as such, I am inspired by how we can use computer vision and NLP to build innovative, cutting edge technology. From a practical perspective, data science can be used to build a variety of very useful products and applications that can enrich people's daily lives in small ways, whether through ease of use in a consumer setting or improved productivity in a business setting. However, from a more utopian viewpoint, I believe that data science - in conjunction with other artificial intelligence techniques - will eventually enable us to build products and services that have a much more meaningful and profound impact on our way of life. I am motivated by both of these perspectives: in the short-term I plan to use machine learning to help companies build useful and profitable products, and in the long-term I aspire to improve our way of life by building visionary technology that pushes the limits of data science and artificial intelligence. Both are exciting, and both motivate me to work hard every day to make progress towards these goals. Within the machine learning field, the emphasis of my research has been deep learning - particularly applications involving computer vision.
