Hi,
my name is Tomasz Oliwa.
Currently
I am a graduate PhD student in Computer Science in the
Department of Computer Science
at The University of Georgia, Athens,
USA.
I
studied Computer Science with a focus in Artificial Intelligence and a minor subject in Physics
at the University of Koblenz,
Germany and got an
intermediate diploma.

Projects:
Machine Learning
I am researching Machine Learning techniques (Probabilistic
Output Labelled Transition Systems
and various Neural Network architectures) for music composition based
on inductive learning.
You can get a first glimpse by looking at this poster from our
Poster Presentation at the 6th Sixth European
Workshop on Evolutionary and
Biologically Inspired Music, Art and Design in
Napoli, Italy.
Evolutionary Computation
Also, I am doing research on Evolutionary Computation implementing
Evolutionary Creativity in the domain
of music composition. Check out my recent GECCO 2008
publication for a system based on Genetic Algorithms
which can compose multi-instrumental music or listen to some of
composed music by yourself here.
Formal Methods,
Verification
At the University
of Koblenz, Germany I was a graduate research assistant in the KeY Project,
a formal
methods
tool for specification and verification of object oriented software.
Virtual/Simulated
GNU/Linux Networks
During my project internship at the University of Koblenz, Germany I
worked on an implementation of NIS and NFS
in VNUML
(Virtual Network User Mode Linux).
Interests
outside of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence:
Electric Guitar
Check out one of my songs/records here. This hard rock instrumental
was recorded under GNU/Linux with audacity
for the guitar
recording and hydrogen for the drums. To listen to it, you will need the Ogg Vorbis
sound lib (Open source).
UGA Karate Club
Great workout and nice people.
Literature
I enjoy novels written by Stanislaw Lem, Franz Kafka or Thomas Pynchon
and I also like experimental novels
like House of
Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.
