AI/ML enthusiast and advocate for emoticons instead of emojis

I am currently a college student aiming for a Computer Science degree and have a passion for AI/ML projects.

I started my programming journey by forcing myself to create machine learning algorithms using only the C++ standard library without any prior knowledge of any of the C languages or machine learning. Through the careful reading and application of research papers, I managed to create several ML models from scratch. Some of the models I created include: logistic regression, linear regression, decision trees, and conditional random fields. Using some of these models, I have been able to create a system that can predict a word's part of speech using context from surrounding words in a sentence. This system achieved accuracies similar to those using models from public libraries such as Scikit-learn in Python and is what I consider to be one of my greatest achievements.

The original goal of my ML project was to create a chatbot program that I could have a full conversation with. As this was the first real project I ever started, the quality of my code was not what it is today. Nonetheless, the original code can still be seen in my Widget repository. With the recently emerging field of LLMs, I now know that if I were to complete this project with my original goals, it would have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of GPUs months worth of time just to train the model. Safe to say my little 2060 is not going to cut it (even if it's overclocked :P).
