Soroush Omidvartehrani
Ph.D. candidate in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, working on example-driven data wrangling. Specifically, I study how much a system can learn from a handful of well-chosen examples and how to carry what it learns across the rest of the data. I also work remotely as a Data Scientist at Dodona Data in Toronto.

Every answer is written from the notes on this site and lists the passages it drew on. Answers are generated by a language model reading a small set of notes about my work, so treat them as a starting point rather than a citation. Follow the linked sources for anything that matters. Questions are not stored, and the assistant knows nothing beyond what is on this site.
