Hi! I’m Vicki. I’m a founding machine learning engineer working in the recsys/personalization/IR space. I previously worked on LLMs and LLM infra at Mozilla.ai, and at Duo, Tumblr, Automattic, and Comcast. My interests in machine learning include Recsys search, MLOps and production, and distributed systems. I like reverse-engineering neural nets and machine learning systems.
My side project was Viberary, which recommends you books based on vibe.
I wrote a paper about what embeddings are., Embeddings Approaches DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.8015029
I take notes on what I learn here.
I once ran an ML/data conference called Normconf.
