Learn With Me

A living page for papers, repositories, and ideas I am following in mathematics, machine learning, and AI agents. I use this as a public learning trail: what looks interesting, why it matters, and what I want to understand next.

Last curated: 2026-08-28

01

Read actively

For each paper or repo, I focus on the core problem, assumptions, method, and what I can reuse.

02

Connect ideas

I group resources by themes so math, ML, and agent systems can cross-pollinate each other.

03

Build small

When a resource looks useful, the next step is a small experiment, reproduction, or note.

Probability, dynamics, optimization, and mathematical foundations

Mathematics

Papers and repositories that connect rigorous mathematical ideas with modeling, simulation, and computational tools.
