Hello! I am

Nick Kroeger

Computer Science PhD Student
(He/Him)



I hope to advance methods for machine learning interpretability and outlier detection,
within deep learning, visual reasoning, and acoustics.

Profile

I'm a Computer Science PhD Student at the University of Florida studying Machine Learning. I completed my M.S. (2021) and B.S. (2018) in Computer Science and Minor in Music Performance (Saxophone) at the University of Florida.

In February 2022, I established a Slack community around Explainable AI (XAI) to help connect XAI/IML researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts from around the world. If you'd like to discuss interpretability methods, get help on challenging problems, and meet experts in your field, send us a DM at @XAI_Research on Twitter!

Research Interests: Interpretable Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Outlier Detection, and Underwater Acoustics.
