Tyler was one of my students at Columbia taking the Machine Learning course. I was very impressed by Tyler's enthusiasm about Machine Learning, his speed of learning new concepts, and fast connecting concepts to applications. He mastered the course materials very well, and did an excellent job for his final project. I can't wait to hear more from him in applying what he learned about machine learning to solve real-world applications. Way to go, Tyler.
