I'm currently pursuing a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, and I'm really excited about the potential to contribute to fields like Information Technology, Finance, and Gaming once I complete the program. One thing that has really caught my attention is how autonomous robots operate, especially as I delve deeper into my AI studies. Right now, I'm working on some pretty complex AI algorithms for my current project. These include things like heuristic algorithms, state-action sequences, Markov Decision Processes, and Bellman algorithms. It's all really fascinating!
