Hello, I am Shubhamkar Ayare. My work may be summarized in terms of two main spheres of life.
Primary sphere of a graduate student. Currently, I'm pursuing my PhD at the Central European University in Vienna, Austria. I am working under Prof. Jonathan Kominsky as my primary supervisor as part of the Causal Cognition Lab. I completed my Master's in Cognitive Science from IIT Kanpur under Prof. Nisheeth Srivastava as part of the PLATIPUS Lab.
I have very much enjoyed my interactions with Prof. Devpriya Kumar and will be forever grateful for the often lengthy (but very interesting!) discussions with Prof. Narayanan Srinivasan. Unfortunately, I ran out of time at IIT Kanpur before I could interact more with others.
My primary sphere is largely driven by a quest to put the unknown unknowns relevant for building machines with human-like general intelligence into a more-or-less consistent framework. See what research areas this has touched so far.
I had previously attempted an online forum for cognitive science, but it has since been archived.
Secondary sphere of a Common Lisp Enthusiast. This mainly began around my undergraduate days in Computer Science at IIT Bombay. It has been motivated by a search for a powerful practical yet stable programming platform for long term projects. This sphere contributes to my primary sphere every now and then, but it may be understood independently. See what projects this sphere had led to.
Besides these two spheres of life, I keep reading and sharing links to interesting, useful, or silly articles I run into or, sometimes, write. Upon a friend's recommendation, I'm maintaining them here.
