David Demitri Africa

MPhil in Advanced Computer Science, University of Cambridge. Jardine Postgraduate Cambridge Scholar. Interested in technical AI safety, natural language processing, and collective behavior.

Currently working on: (1) using meta-learning to train small language models on multilingual named entity recognition (2) creating a benchmark for Filipino NLP tasks, (3) using transfer entropy to quantify collective behavior in feral horse harem herds, (4) using large language model internal states as a measure of correctness for question answering, and (5) using neural networks as a measure of complexity for restricted minimum sorting problems.

Used to do competitive debate. Training for an ultramarathon. Next planned hike: Mt. Kabunian.
