User:Imran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm Imran and this is my user page :)
Note: I am (as of Sept 04) curently inactive on Wikipedia
I'm currently a sysop on en. I was also election coordinator (along with Danny) for the Wikimedia board of trustee elections.
I can be reached at imran@bits.bris.ac.uk or via my Blog, I'm normally also around on #wikipedia.
For my image page see User:Imran/photos.
Apart from Wikipedia I can also often be found working on other open source content project, including the other Wikimedia projects, Distributed Proofreaders & Project Gutenberg.
My academic interests include:
- Computer Science - especially Cryptography and AI.
- Maths - Mainly Number Theory and Group Theory.
Other interests:
- Lexicography - especially "first uses" & etymology.
- Game History - Mainly that of Board Games and of English card games.
I'm not a professional, but when it comes to these two areas I'm probably the closest you're going to find on Wikipedia so feel free to ask me questions relating to these areas.
I am especially interested in the overlap between these areas. I've recently finished a project investigating the application of reinforcement learning (particularlly the temporal difference algorithm td-lambda) to train neural networks to play board games. An initial paper can be found here.
