My name is Abhi Jadhav, and I am an undergraduate student at Duke University studying biomedical engineering and computer science. Throughout my studies, I have developed a passion for machine learning and data analysis. What intrigued me about the TransmogrifAI project(s), is the attention toward model interpretability - something I think is lacking in many approaches to ML (very black box prone). Additionally, the hyperparameter optimization theme reminds me of my own struggles with painstakingly trying to fine-tune parameters. I truly believe both of these factors are what contribute to ML being perhaps a bias in the age of the technological elite, something which the TransmogrifAI API can serve to work against. I would love to learn how I can contribute to this open source project and/or chat with a mentor!
