Thanks for dropping by my personal website! My name is Jay Gupta and I am from the sunny city of San Jose, California. A Bay Area resident through and through, I am currently a junior at Stanford University working towards a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science.
My interests are diverse, but recently I have grown fascinated by Natural Language Processing and Generation particularly with respect to mechanistic interpretability. I am concerned about the future and looming existential risks ranging from AI Alignment to Nuclear Warfare. Still, I am optimistic that advances in deep learning will transform the world for the better. My driving force is the hope that my work will have a positive impact on individuals as real as you and me.
With that nugget of motivation out of the way, this site is intended to act as a record of my projects and interests over the years to come. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!
The overall design of this site was inspired by the minimal mistakes Jekyll Theme. The resume section builds off Xiaoying Riley's template though several modifications were made. I referenced several answers listed on Stack Overflow to implement tricky behaviors. These attributions are made in the source code itself.
Pages achieve reasonable scores on pagespeed for performance. The major bottleneck are 3rd party resources (i.e., MathJax, Prism.js, etc) that delay the page load for a few hundred miliseconds.
