Angelina Quan

I'm an MIT undergraduate studying Computer Science and Mathematics, interested in computer vision and reinforcement learning. I've been fortunate to work with Antonio Torralba and Vincent Sitzmann.

In a previous life, I competed in the USA Mathematics Olympiad and won a gold medal at the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence.

Outside of work, you can find me running along the Charles river, dreaming about philosophy, or trying new food - I was the #1 Beli diner at MIT!

Dataset distillation compresses a large dataset into a small set of synthetic examples, but existing methods often specialize to a single task such as classification. We propose “drifting” synthetic examples through feature space toward the real data and away from one another. This produces datasets that better match the real distribution while remaining effective for classification, visualization, and other modalities.

Edamame gives each employee in a company an AI clone for organizational memory: we integrate Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, GitHub, Notion, and Jira with real OAuth and keep vectors in step as new messages, threads, and files show up. You query a clone in text or voice and get cited answers tied back to the underlying sources.
