    Tomo Oga

    ML/AI Researcher

    More About Me.

    Who Am I?

    Hi! My name is Tomo. I'm 19 years old and grew up in the greater boston area. I am a current second year at Northeastern University, and I'm a passionate Data Science student at Northeastern University, driven by a deep interest in machine learning, knowledge assembly, and data engineering. I am an ML/AI Research Assistant at the Gyori Lab for Computational Biomedicine, where I get to apply my interests and knowledge of artificial intelligence to real-life biomedical applications.

    What are you currently working on?

    For Gyori Lab, currently I am trying to find methods to extract genetic mutations from clinical trial inclusion/exclusion criteria. In this way, we could theoretically create BioEntities that reflect these genetic mutations, and provide better oncogenetic precision medicine to patients with cancer. Outside of the lab, I had finished a project on providing an implementation on a ConvLSTM layer for Apple's array framework library known as MLX. I am in the process of writing documentation, and cleaning up my code in order to publish it as a real library.

    Experience

    ML/AI Researcher @ Gyori Lab

    June 2024 - Present

    Contributed to the TrialSynth project by integrating clinical trial data across multiple registries into a computable knowledge graph, by standardizing biomedical entities into unique concept identifiers.

    Coding Instructor @ CodeWhiz

    December 2022 - February 2023

    Taught groups of around 20 students, ages 11-14, how to code in Python, Java, and Scratch through an interactive environment.

    Projects

    Frame Interpolation using ConvLSTM and Residual Learning

    December 2023 - February 2024

    Recreated Suzuki et. al's work on "Residual Learning of Video Frame Interpolation Using ConvLSTM." Leveraged PyTorch's nn.Module library to build a model from scratch, and created a custom DataLoader for training.

    ConvLSTM for MLX

    March - April 2024

    Developed the Convolutional LSTM structure as dicussed in Shi et al.'s work of "Convolutional LSTM Network: A Machine Learning Approach for Precipitation Nowcasting." for Apple's array framework library MLX, which utilizes the shared memory pool for Apple Sillicon CPU's and GPU's for efficient training.
