False testimony

I was last seen...

...working on machine vision at LIVIA, ETS, Universite du Quebec. Jane, my machine and confident, already sees, knows it sees, and knows what it sees (its creator). Topping that, my office mates have self awareness, a remarkable feat for fixtures in an AI lab today. And who could have believed bosses could be so cool? (boss 2 here)

A March report has me...

...turning McGill computer science classes into music appreciation ones. Rumor has it I miss my students, and evidence shows the converse is not true. According to a controversial internal memo, at about the same time I was spotted teaching miles away at Dawson college.

In a previous life,

...I may have been a quality control engineer at Nab/Dcss, Morrisville, PA, 325 souls and 37 undertakers, commonly believed to be the center of all antimatter. Construction sites (where I spent a lot of time) were clearly God's invention, since they turn humble men into pious zealots by constantly reminding them of the plausibility of purgatory. The indigenous people had strange customs, waving knives at strangers' faces calling them "scarfaces" in anticipation of goods to come, or burrying their future dead in purifying concrete pours.

During the mesozoic,

...I served a 3-year sentence as a structural engineer at O'Dea/Pavlo, formerly Pavlov (the "v" was lost during the McCarthy era). My biggest contribution was to the Cleveland Main Avenue bridge; In consequence, I have acquired Ollie North office equipment just in anticipation of an accident.
Pavlo was notorious for its humanitarian use of punch cards to insure the equitable renumeration of its employees. I also reputedly enjoyed graveyard shift inspections of bridges, which often involved pittoresque activities such as dipping into the Gowanus canal, or shuffling guano off bridge bearings. The most famous bridge we didn't design was the sulfurous "ponte stradale ferroviare sullo stretto di Messina".

My seventh life will be dedicated to...

- the recreation of the original sound in early piano recordings;

- more pattern recognition;
- more skiing and tennis and jumping off things and more;
- probabilistic machine learning;
- the next generation language.

Recyclable items (still mutating)

MS in computer science from McGill,

which finally managed to get rid of me after years of parasitic life.

Interest stack: (to be filled)

MS in structural engineering from Columbia (a dying breed).

My Bachelor's degree (in civil engineering) is also from Columbia.

What seemed at the time to be the most interesting thing in the world: (to be filled)

My university life started at the once beautiful

American University of Beirut, which may one day be reborn from its ashes.

I hold a French Baccalaureate (Academie de Lyons),

whose exams I took (in Beirut) under a Syrian artillery barrage. I guess the French professors were quite impressed (with the noise).
