I am a scientist exploring applied/theoretical inference algorithms, health informatics, and educational technology. I am also a composer. You can find my music at: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3juIfe1KfX4BPJu3ofEvci?si=9zZBP8-dQ36cQ32UoN1l9A
I bought a stereo a couple of weeks back. Listening to all my old CDs. So much great music. So many memories.

I forgot (in a sense) just how many New Order songs I loved.

Writing my first ever 100% theoretical paper. How exciting!!

Very glad to have @interestingmonkey.bsky.social help on this one because I do *not* know what I'm doing.

I mean I think the work is sound just not sure how to write it up.

I am starting to feel like an expert again. Particularly in grammatical inference. I really do know quite a bit about this stuff.

Woot! Woot!

The paper by Sabine and I on using language models for question generation was nominated for Best Paper at the 2025 Intelligent Tutoring Systems conference!

It is so much work conducting research and writing a paper. It just feels great to have it recognized in any way at all.

Back when I was doing my PhD, my supervisor used to call our weekly meeting the "Jason Entertainment Hour." Because I usually pretty prepared, and had something to present and/or argue. Working with him again I feel like the "Jason Entertainment Hour" is back on the air!

I'm very excited to be working on some theoretical CS with my former PhD supervisor @interestingmonkey.bsky.social!

I've been smiling ever since he answered my email with his thoughts. We work so well together! And to make a break into theory is exciting!

I’ve packed things you people wouldn’t believe.
Board game boxes warped by forgotten cola spills.
I watched socks vanish beneath the flaps of sealed cartons.
All those… items… will be misplaced in time, like pens beneath couch cushions.
Time… to tape.

I know I've said this a lot but I can listen to "Echoes of the Infinite" for hours. It is like listening to my soul. It fills me with joy and sorrow, all at the same time. I honestly not sure I will ever compose anything that speaks to me personally as vividly.

Packing is just Tetris with consequences.

In the grimdark future, there is only packing (and war).

I just sneezed and Bard ran over and bit me. LOL

Job offer is in! And I'm going to accept it (of course). Woohoo!

That's it! I'm not ordering any more Chinese food until ... checks notes ... they start commissioning compositions from me!!!

FIX THE TRADE IMBALANCE!!!

Why is composing so hard sometimes?

I just had a flash of insight concerning solving trapped problem spaces.

This means I probably won't falls asleep until 1 AM. LOL

Anybody else get bored of eating everything that you normally eat, but at the same time you don't want to try anything new?

I've never had a favorite Biblical verse before but now I do. This one speaks to me at a deep level.

"learn to do good;
seek justice;
rescue the oppressed;
defend the orphan;
plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)

Started some preliminary research a new machine learning algorithm to solved trapped p-spaces.

And yes the D&D player in me is like "Trapped p-spaces? What is the DC to disarm the trap?"
