Machine Learning-- beginner level, certificates, need practical experience still, mostly guided projects so far

• Data Cleaning

• Visualization

• Regression-- linear, relu, logistic, tanh, softmax

• Classification

• Clustering

• Neural Networks

• Convolutional Filtering

• Adam optimizer

• Batch filter

• Recurrent Neural Networks 

• Maybe: Transformers

• Maybe: GRUs, LTSMs

• Guided Projects in: phrase generation, image recognition and object detection and location, music generation, activation word detection (and overlay of beep), facial recognition and authorization, video game starship lander trajectory prediction, French to English translation (though that was very heavily guided and my French is very beginner)

• Mathematical calculation of more precise technique for cosine similarity (it is possible a reference was given but I computed it instead)

Languages Spoken-- this is not my strength, to be honest, partly due to less than excellent hearing

Don't be stupid, I wear glasses but I can read perfectly fine. I am not blind. However I do not have hearing aids and my hearing is worse than average.

• ENGLISH-- I am a native speaker, and especially a native writer. I am writing this way on purpose, my English teacher and masters committee swear that my writing is completely fine for its intended purpose if I decide that I wish to be proper

• Danish-- I've finished the Duolingo track but I have little practical speaking experience and my reading and writing are not outstanding either.

• French-- Definitely high school from 2000 level, although I've returned to it on Duolingo

• I'm just beginning German, Turkish, and Spanish on Duolingo, but those do NOT count as skills. And neither do Duolingo chess (I'm a total novice); or lol their math games which are quite addicting though very very very very very easy.

Although it is none of your business, my understanding is that people are oddly still confused. I am an almost entirely GAY MAN (nonbinary transman). My partner is a MAN (probably bisexual, idk). I was born in 1982. I am currently disabled by seizures. I have had exactly two partners, romantic or sexual, since 2005. My ex husband and I were together ten years, and my current partner and I have been together ten years after that. Ex husband, CCH, was born in 1969, and was not disabled. Current partner, PD, was born in 1968, and is disabled. Both are programmers. PD is a computational astrophysicist like me, although he's a professor. CCH worked in several areas, especially computer security, as well as the algorithms for online advertising, but had a biomedical degree. I had male partners born in 1975, 1979, 1983, 1981, and 1981 before that, for 1 yr, 2 yrs, 1/2 yr, 1 1/2 yr, and 2 yrs each. While I was younger than 21, my partners were all in my class year or the year above me, and while I was over 21, they were all older than me, by several years. I have had a small handful of less serious partners, all older than me, mostly men. No partners other than my ex husband or current partner at all in the last 20 years. I haven't really dated casually since college, and I don't have an interest in people younger than me. Trans people and gay people are not pedophiles. In particular, my long-term partner and ex husband are older, professional men who I am attracted to for our shared interests and the respect I have for their intellects and personalities. I know people have lots of delusions and fantasies about who I am, but I actually do have real relationships with real people, and they have names and opinions and live places and have friends and families, and when you imagine them to be different people, you're just factually wrong about the reality, not just for me and them, but for lots of people around us.
