Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJesse Cummings is a graduate research assistant at MIT CSAIL with six years of experience at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning evaluation, and human psychophysics. He studies dataset curation, evaluation validity, and failure modes in ML models while extending that work to probe neural correlates of image recognition using human fMRI and macaque electrophysiology. Jesse has led large-scale human experiments, implemented and benchmarked vision models, and contributed to methods that directly compare human and model performance. His industry experience includes building algorithms to detect non-IID issues in datasets during a Cleanlab internship. Fluent in both rigorous experimental design and practical tooling, he pairs deep technical training in math and CS from MIT with hands-on data collection and analysis at scale. An uncommon mix of behavioral neuroscience and ML evaluation gives him a unique perspective on what benchmarks actually measure.
