¿Y si aprender a programar sonara a música?
Eso es exactamente lo que hacemos en RemezclaPR (http://bit.ly/remezclapr). Durante años, realizamos un campamento de verano gratuito para estudiantes de escuelas públicas de PR, donde aprendían a crear música mediante programación. El financiamiento de NSF terminó. Este verano, necesitamos tu ayuda para seguir ofreciéndolo libre de costo.

Talk: Learning Efficiently by Solving the Right Problems: My Research in AI

Abstract:
In my first years at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, I wanted to become a music producer. Instead of enrolling in formal classes, I spent much of my time teaching myself—watching tutorials, experimenting with software, and learning concepts such as audio compression, equalization, mastering, and sound design. I started with almost no formal background in music production, which meant that I often rediscovered problems on my own and sometimes even rediscovered solutions.

When producing music, the process usually starts with an idea for a song in my mind. I would try to create it, run into technical problems, and then begin investigating the underlying issue. I would describe the problem, develop hypotheses about what was happening, test possible solutions, and iterate until I achieved the sound I wanted. Looking back, I realized that this process was essentially the research loop: starting from an idea, encountering obstacles, studying the problem, forming hypotheses, testing solutions, and iterating toward a result.

At the time, I did not think of this as research. I was simply trying to solve problems to achieve a goal. However, this mindset—learning independently and iterating through difficult problems—became the foundation of my research journey. When I later became interested in machine learning, I approached it in the same way: studying the fundamentals on my own, experimenting with code, and trying to understand why models succeed or fail.

When I felt ready, I approached Dr. Rémi Mégret to ask if I could join a research project, which marked the beginning of my research career. Since then, I have worked on a variety of machine learning problems—from identifying individual honeybees in videos and analyzing nanoparticle behavior to studying genomic data structures. These experiences eventually led me to my current research in computer vision and machine learning, where I study how to train AI systems using less data through techniques such as dataset distillation and generative models.

Interestingly, many of the problems I study today in artificial intelligence are related to a similar challenge: how to make learning effective while reducing the effort required to obtain high-quality training data. In this talk, I will describe how this way of thinking shaped my research and the problems I have worked on along the way.
