Background
  • Charles is a DPhil student in computer science at the University of Oxford, with research interests mainly focused on machine learning theory, particularly the theory of large language models (LLMs), and continual or open-ended learning. He is also interested in machine learning for mathematical reasoning.
Miscellany
  • Other interests include economics of AI, theoretical CS, statistical physics, optimization, game theory, Arsenal football club, American football, spy novels, and sci-fi. Favorite fiction books (no particular order): Gorky Park, Blood Meridian, Brave New World, Leave it to Psmith, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, etc.
