An internet workshop by Doug Schonholtz

Things I’m trying to understand by building them.

Practical research, courses, and small experiments about software, data, and artificial intelligence.

Current work

Everything has a home. Nothing has to be finished.

What connects it all

Build the thing. Measure the thing. Explain what changed.

I’m an AI engineer interested in how probabilistic systems become dependable software. This site is the public notebook: serious research next to teaching materials and whatever odd prototype seemed worth making that week.
