INTRODUCTION

For a comprehensive overview of my open-source projects, please visit my GitHub.

I am Ayaka, a 24-year-old computer science, historical linguistics, and
mathematics researcher.


NLP

I am driven by my lifelong goal of designing powerful artificial intelligence
that can understand and process a diverse range of languages, both widely spoken
and under-resourced. My strong background in computer science has allowed me to
gain a thorough understanding of the architecture of state-of-the-art NLP
models.

I have made significant contributions to NLP, including the development of
TransCan, an English-Cantonese machine translation model that outperforms
state-of-the-art commercial products by 11.8 BLEU. I implemented the BART model
from scratch using JAX, establishing a versatile codebase for future deep
learning model architecture research. Moreover, I created the LIHKG Cantonese
Dataset through a scraper that bypassed many layers of Cloudflare’s protection,
resulting in a corpus of 172 million unique sentences.

Recent advancements in NLP technology have been particularly exciting, including
the release of ChatGPT, a highly advanced large language model with strong
language understanding and reasoning abilities. Being one of the first pioneers
of ChatGPT Plus, I am thrilled to be at the forefront of this cutting-edge
journey. I am working on various prompt and dialogue engineering techniques, and
I am fine-tuning ChatGPT-like language models such as LLaMA for various NLP
tasks and applications.

Nevertheless, even the best NLP models today are unable to process low-resource
languages, despite the fact that humans are capable of adapting to these
languages through appropriate methods. My long-term objective is to seek an
appropriate method that enables AI to pick up low-resource languages without
human supervision.


LINGUISTICS

As a historian of languages, I am deeply interested in exploring the evolution
of language and how ancient languages from different geographical regions and
ethnic groups have developed into what they are today and what they may become
in the future.

To address this problem, I believe it is essential to have a deep understanding
of the history of various languages. With regard to the Chinese language, I have
utilised my mastery of the Qieyun phonological system to develop the widely-used
qieyun-js programming library. I also possess a deep knowledge of the history of
Japanese kanji pronunciation, with the ability to read any text written in kanji
using the old Japanese pronunciation of on'yomi.

To attain an intuitive sense of language evolution, I have been researching
groups of similar languages and dialects, incorporating the knowledge of
anthropology and ethnology. For example, in addition to my proficiency in
Mandarin and Cantonese, I am also familiar with the Hakka, Hokkien and Teochew
dialects. I am simultaneously studying the North Germanic languages of
Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Faroese and Old Norse. Furthermore, I am
delving into the study of Malay and the historical development of Austronesian
languages.

By leveraging my extensive knowledge of language evolution, I am poised to make
valuable contributions to the field of historical linguistics and shape our
understanding of the future of world languages.


MATHEMATICS

Mathematics has always been a passion of mine and I have dedicated myself to
exploring a wide range of areas including group theory, number theory, category
theory and type theory.

In my research, I am particularly interested in formalising mathematical
theorems through theorem provers, specifically using the Lean proof assistant. I
believe that this approach not only deepens our understanding of mathematical
concepts but also opens up new avenues for discovery in mathematics.

Unfortunately, due to limited time, I am unable to provide individual
supervision at this time. However, I am always eager to collaborate with other
researchers who share my passion for mathematics and welcome the opportunity to
work together.

If you would like to learn more about my work or discuss potential collaboration
opportunities, please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to hearing
from you!

MISCELLANEOUS

Aside from my professional pursuits, I am passionate about anthropology,
ethnology, mythology, typography, and astronomy. In my leisure time, I engage in
a range of diverse hobbies that help me stay grounded and inspired. These
include singing, hiking, plane-spotting and stargazing.

In my use of technology, I have made several unique choices. I use the PWBRHK
keyboard layout on my mobile phone, instead of the conventional QWERTY layout.
This layout, which I designed specifically with linguistics in mind, is
optimised for typing Cantonese and Nordic languages.

I use my self-designed Nya calendar alongside the Gregorian calendar. The Nya
calendar takes into account not only the orbit of the Earth, but also that of
the Moon and Mercury, and boasts several advantageous features.

Additionally, I use Arch Linux as my daily desktop operating system. As a
lightweight and highly customizable Linux distribution, Arch Linux is known for
its rolling-release model, up-to-date software packages, and minimalistic
approach. By maintaining only one copy of a software package, which is shared
among all packages that require it, Arch Linux keeps my system uncluttered and
reduces redundancy.

As a Baroness of the Principality of Sealand, I am honoured to hold a noble
title and play a crucial role in shaping its future. My role is a privilege that
enables me to represent its interests, promote its sovereignty, and embody its
values and principles. I am proud to stand at the forefront of this
self-determined entity, paving the way for a new era of independence and
self-expression.
