Short Bio
Hi! I am Ogechukwu Allison Kanu preferably going by Allison Ogechukwu. I find unreveiling mystery in ML/AI fascinating…what makes an AI model? what technologies have we discovered to build generalizable and capable models? what are their strengths and weaknesses? how can we overcome these weaknesses? are questions I love exploring and attempting to answer.

Projects
Here are my honourable mentions:
-
Machine Learning and Wireless Networks
- RadioSSL- Builds generalizable model for both in-distribution and out-of-distribution tasks.
-
qRadioMoCo - Attempts to learns two in distribution tasks with self-supervised learning using MoCo framework. More details can be found in the paper: Self-supervised Radio Representation Learning: Can we Learn Multiple Tasks?
-
qSeptroDetect - Is a signal localization and classification model on both narrow and wideband spectrum given IQ samples.
-
qIQ2Seq_forecast - Takes history of IQ samples and predicts a 2ms window in the future.
-
Statistical Optimization problems
- spectral_estnoise_ms - Implements a noise estimation algorithm, developed for voice activity detectors (VAD) on radio frequency signals as a proposed method of dynamic thresholding required by ITU for spectral occupancy measurements. More details can be found in the paper: Spectral Noise Estimation: A Python 3 Implementation of the Minimum Statistics Estimation.

Software Engineering
-
alxbot-project - Built a google chrome extension to support learning for an ALX user. It integrates with LLMs (like ChatGPT) to deliver accurate, context-aware responses using RAG pipeline with LangChain. Additional features include note-taking, MCQ quizzes for knowledge testing, and conversation history tracking.
-
mvp-wallet-service-app - Developed an MVP REST API for a wallet service. User can autheticate using JWTs and open accounts to perform common transactions like deposit, withdraw and transfer funds.
