Luke McDermott

Hi. I'm a research scientist at Modern Intelligence and an incoming PhD student at UCSD.

I am interested in developing efficient deep learning models, incorporating sparsity and plasticity to create adaptive AI. Topics include pruning, quantization, mixture-of-experts, & parameter efficient finetuning
