Bot in a nutshell

I’m Kittipat Kampa, and people call me by my nickname “Bot” (from Botany.) I’m now a post-doctoral associate machine learning scientist at Integrated Brain Imaging Center (IBIC), University of Washington, Seattle. This is my personal homepage which contains both my personal items and my works.

Personally I’m interested in using mathematics and statistics (and, of course, with common sense) to help describe all sorts of phenomena, for instance, engineering problems, Biology, Politics, music, universe, emotions, religious, life, etc,. The beauty is that mathematics transform the original problem into a new domain that is more generalized and more accessible for people with different perspectives and background.

Another thing that I have been being interested is “learning.” I have a feeling that learning ability is such a beautiful, precious and powerful thing since it makes one a better person and makes things adapt and survive eventually. Without learning ability, we may be just a victim of uncertainty. I am so amazed by this ability and strive to find the answer to the question “How can things learn?”

Both mathematics and learning philosophy have been motivating me to further my curiosity into the area of Machine Learning. This is what I am happy to work with.

Rather than the academic works, I also

Like: tennis, ping-pong, cats, dogs, music, Guitar, song writing, reading, Mangas, movie, love

Dislike: washing dishes, laundry, morning, Monday, hatred

Believe:

• That music is an audible version of mathematics. That means we all get emotional by merely a series of numbers! Really?
• That as long as human curiosity, creativity, honesty and ambitiousness last, mathematics never ends

I'm working on a project to motivate people, especially, kids, to love and understand mathematics, science and machine learning via everyday life at ChaLearn Academy, which can also found on Facebook page.
