I hope this doesn't qualify as self promotion, I just wanted to give back to the community that's helped me so much, and hopefully offer a bit of perspective and hope for others.
So I've spent the last three decades of my life battling depression and ADHD, however about 2 years ago, I discovered AI and machine learning, and poured my heart and soul into learning all about it.
Well, fast forward to now, and I've self-published my own pre-print, with a novel model that beats other similar architectures, while boasting 2-4x larger batch sizes at the same time.
After dropping out of college ~11 years ago thanks to my untreated issues, I must say it's been quite a journey, and I'm extremely happy to be where I am today.
So, to anyone else out there who might feel that all who wander are indeed lost, I guess I hope my story can provide some inspiration.
