Bryan Oliveira
Hi! I'm Bryan, a 27-year-old AI enthusiast based in Goiânia, Brazil. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Federal University of Goiás, where I'm currently a Master's student focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Elegant code writer, eclectic listener, casual photographer, voracious meta-learner, and sporadic gamer. I am perpetually fascinated by nature's wonders, including the intricacies of the human mind.
I'm currently working at the Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence (CEIA), leading AI research projects for automatic advertisement generation, real-time campaign optimization, and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to enhance large language models. My past experiences involve leveraging RL for debt collection and machine learning engineering for developing and deploying products for tourism recommendation, sales forecasting, and energy consumption optimization.
I'm deeply interested in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, high-performance computing, evolution, quantum mechanics, and their interconnections. I also like a broader philosophical approach to AI research, as I believe it can be used to explain numerous human behaviors and thought processes.

Bone Age Regression
Deep Learning · November 2019This is my code for the I2A2 Bone Age Regression competition. I learned a lot by building this pipeline from scratch and experimenting with different model architectures and optimizers. This was my first end-to-end image regression model, and it was very nice seeing my theoretical knowledge work in practice. Read more
