The School of Invention: My Start-Up
Our podcast is in the works and will soon offer exclusive interviews with successful individuals, sharing their unique paths to success. We aim to highlight alternative career approaches outside the traditional academic trajectory because smart people are needed in diverse areas—many of which young talents may overlook. For instance, you don’t need to become a professor to be a respected and impactful researcher, nor do you need a formal publishing contract to succeed as an author.
At The School of Invention, we focus on people and their stories, providing both personal insights and practical knowledge. We regularly publish articles on innovative business strategies, such as how to start a startup as a researcher. Our interviewees span various industries—entrepreneurs, game developers, authors, researchers, and other creative thinkers. They are all inventors in their own right, and through our platform, they share how you can be one too!
Update Medium Publication and Bachelor of Science Thesis
Introducing Become Human—a new Medium publication where I’ll share insights from my research for my Bachelor of Science thesis. In this publication, I’ll delve into the concept of representation, a term widely used in neuroscience, machine learning, and mathematics. I’ll explore how “representation” is applied within each field and investigate whether we can indeed use this term interchangeably for biological and machine learning systems, as is commonly done.
My research is guided by Dr. Nico Scherf from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences and philosopher Antonio Bikic from the University of Heidelberg. (Check out his website here)
Become Human will also feature articles on human reasoning and argumentation patterns, examining how we can model and automate them. We’ll discuss automated decision-making in areas such as autonomous vehicles, patient preference prediction, and much more. Articles will be published on Medium and also republished here on this blog, so you can stay up-to-date! Enter the Future with us!
Poems
Hi, my name is Yildiz. While I identify strongly as a logician, I’ve also always nurtured an artistic spirit. I’ve been writing poems since I was seven years old, and my work has been featured in a Poets Choice anthology, where I’m proud to be one of their writers. I’m preparing to publish my poetry book and will share my work regularly on this blog. I believe that everyone should have a medium for emotional expression. For me, balancing the logical aspects of my life with creative outlets like poetry, singing, and art is the healthiest and most fulfilling way to find harmony.
