9th month @Stanford
Masahiro RikisoMay 30, 2024

TL;DR

• Research: Implemented MLOps-related features in VIHub (such as One-Click AutoML) and are advancing the PoC for generative AI functionalities.
• Life: Felt burned out in the latter half of the month, so I focused on networking. I was encouraged to learn that my friends are also struggling with their work and careers in the lab.

Event on Stanford Campus

I volunteered at the Indigenous cultural festival Powwow, experienced the latest VR/AR technologies at the XR Conference, and attended various events such as Fire On Fire (a BBQ event), TCS Night Market (a Taiwanese cultural event), and Huppet (a musical event).

The anti-Israel tent on campus remains in the same state as last year. @WhitePlaza

Lunch Party

I was invited to Padma's home, where we enjoyed pizza and sweets. We had a great time discussing summer internships, career plans after obtaining OPT, and summer vacation plans.
