Sarah Alnegheimish, a PhD student at MIT, is focused on developing Orion, an open-source machine learning framework for anomaly detection.
Coming from a background where education was highly valued, Alnegheimish believes in making machine learning tools accessible to all.
Alnegheimish's master thesis on time series anomaly detection led her to create Orion, which uses statistical and machine learning models.
Orion offers transparency and accessibility through open-source code, allowing users to investigate anomalies without deep machine learning expertise.
Alnegheimish's current research involves repurposing pre-trained models for anomaly detection tasks, aiming to save time and computational costs.
She emphasizes on making her work accessible by developing systems that simplify the use of machine learning models for others.
Her system development approach involves finding the right abstractions that provide universal representation for all models.
Alnegheimish has mentored students to develop models using the abstractions she employs, showcasing the effectiveness of her system design.
She has also implemented a large language model (LLM) agent to facilitate user interaction with Orion through simple commands.
With over 120,000 downloads and positive user feedback on Github, Orion is making AI more accessible and seeing real-time adoption through open source.
