On leave from Stanford to build RL environments at Mechanize. Research in AI, innovation, and political economy.
Stanford, CA
I'm on leave from Stanford University (Math & CS) to work full-time at Mechanize. My research sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Economics, using LLMs to model innovation quality and disparate impact.
Engineering at Mechanize.

A collection of working papers and publications at the intersection of AI and Economics.
"Unstructured textual information is important for understanding innovation but challenging to study. The advent of large-language models (LLMs) relieves this constraint. This paper develops deep-learning predictive models incorporating ChatGPT textual embeddings to access intricate information about patent quality."
