​​Jubair, a senior PhD student of Prof. Tom Yeh, will work through brand-new AI by Hand style exercises he crafted specifically for the paper club. We'll dive into a cutting-edge model, architecture, or algorithm recently published.

​FAQ

​Q: What makes our Paper Club different from others?
A: Most clubs chase benchmark results and leaderboard scores. We go inside the black box—into the math, the derivations, and the mechanics that actually make AI models work.

​Q: Isn’t that math too advanced?
A: Normally, yes. This is the kind of material you’d only unpack if you were a 3rd-year PhD student who has already passed the qualifying exam. But with the AI by Hand ✍️ method, we break it down step by step, making the math accessible to anyone willing to learn.

​Q: Who is this for?
A: We especially target AI engineers—people with strong practical experience building and deploying models, but who may not yet fully understand the math inside.

​Q: Why join?
A: If you want to truly understand—not just use—the models behind today’s AI breakthroughs, this may be the only paper club devoted to that journey.
