Nimchimpski Server

contact alexwebb at pm.me

Hello. This is my self managed virtual server where I spend unhealthy amounts of time on my favourite hobby, Server Administration. The idea is to share some of my projects, mainly focused on machine learning/intelligence. Ultimately I will be using Deep Learning to recognise patterns and make predictions in mapping data. Most coding is in python, so the apps are Flask or Django, with AJAX.

I first studied philosophy and physchology, which I guess has led me to be very interested in algorithmic biases and alignment.

Minimax - Flask app
This will open the app in your browser. It is the minimax algorithm, used in a game of 'noughts and crosses'. It has alpha-beta pruning to reduce the search tree and improve efficiency. The board state is stored in an sqlite database. (more details on the page)

Q-Learning - Django app
So you beat the minimax algorithm? Now try this app, a reinforcement Q-learning algorithm, where the machine learnt by playing 50,000 games with itself, with instructions apart from the rules. (more details on the page)
Avatar Network - Django app

This project was completed in summer 2023 when chatgpt was still pretty simple, with a very limited context window .The idea was to give users a customisable chatbot as an avatar (potentially modelled on themselves). Each can be given memories, with a corresponding publicly shared 'knowledge domain' (accessable to each avatar). A function decides if the recieved user prompt necessitates (1) a call and search in its memories or (2) a request to another avatar to do likewise (a call for help!). It is possible to chat with other avatars.

And some of my websites...

Finished projects to be added here soon...

DFS, BFS, A* Search: Animated maze solving
Logical Inference: game.
Constraint Satisfaction.
Convolutional Neural Network: image recognition, with live testing.
Transformer Neural Network: visualisation of attention mechanism with regards to sentence word order.
This could be an interesting area to work on, in terms of alignment. Ideas of gestalt. Demonstrate how meanings are spread through a multi-dimensional vector space? To me this is a good foil to anthropomorphising....I'm unlikely to wonder 'what if feels like to be a nested list of numbers'.
