Projects

2020

Neural Cellular Automata are an interesting neural network architecture, in which cells only have access to the information from adjacent cells. This project explores growing random MNIST digits using such an architecture.

2019

Fractals like the Mandelbrot Set are traditionally defined by simple recursive functions. This project explores fractals generated by functions defined by neural networks.

2018

GradeBook is an unofficial frontend that replaced the district grade book. GradeBook features a more modern UI, as well as quality of life features such as editing assignment scores to compute hypothetical grades.
