👋 Hi, I'm Yash Dagade.

I love to build.

I'm interested in energy and intelligence. They seem to be the defining problems of our generation.

I'm currently doing research at CILVR on robotics and planning.

Here are some of the things I have built:

• RectifiedLpJEPA : A controllable sparsity-based self-supervised learning method that trains models on maximum-entropy sparse representations, enabling highly sparse yet performant pretraining (paper) (blog)
• Radial-VCReg : A self-supervised learning method augmenting VICReg with a radial Gaussianization loss that transforms a broader class of feature distributions toward normality. Presented at NeurIPS workshops. (Symmetry and Geometry in Neural Representations) (UniReps) (poster)
• SkyWindFarm : Harnessing High Altitude Wind Power at Scale (Explanation Video) (Flying Video) (Utility Patent)
• EyeDa : An international non-profit with over 20 members dedicated to solving distracted driving through research initiatives
  • I Dont Wanna Die . (lol) : Utilizing historical accident data to create safer routes
• ConnectU : Connecting people with meaningful conversations based on their genuine interests and communication styles
