Hey there!

I'm Eamon Niknafs

I'm a computer science student from Southern California studying in Boston. I’m interested in artificial intelligence, security research, and software engineering.

I am currently working at Spark! as a machine learning team lead. In my role, I architect ML projects choosing the ideal model architectures for every problem and ensure teams are making steady progress. Recently, I've been learning about decision transformers and masked autoencoders. See my GitHub for more projects!

Projects

MAE are Contiuous Learners Against Adversarial Attacks

In-progress research paper on continuous learning of resilliance to adversarial attacks in masked autoencoders.

See Proposal

ML-Herbarium

A vision transformer based machine learning pipeline built to classify plant specimens and organize records, built for the Harvard HerbariumBU Spark!. The pipeline is composed of fine-tuned and pre-trained OCR and NER models to pick correct classifications in the correct context.
