I'm Alex Kearney, a PhD student studying Computer Science at the University of Alberta. I focus on Artificial Intelligence and Epistemology.
In montreal for RLDM 2019

Meanwhile in the BLINC lab: a bag of San Franciscan street lizards 🦎
I am unreasonably excited about this Grace Hopper sticker my lab-mate gave to me.
My research lab held an archery tag house-cup. We sorted ourselves into houses and competed for bragging rights and the shiniest of trophies. Slytherin naturally won. 🐍 . . . #harrypotter #slytherin #magic #science #gradschool
The lab telepresence robot is actually being used, and it's kind of weird.
The robot sways to give a life-like sense to the speaker, but it still feels like they're a disembodied head.
