Me (Liel Amar)

Hey, I am Liel Amar!

I am a Software Developer with 3 years of professional experience.

📅 Present

I've been building my own and others' ideas since I was 13, and I'm passionate about software design & architecture. My expertise lies in bringing product visions to life, mostly through mobile and web apps.

Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Science, under the Supervision of Prof. Yedid Hoshen. My main focus is Weight Space Learning.

I am 24 years old and I currently live in Israel. Offline, you might find me shooting videos, going to the cinema, watching my favorite teams play or traveling the world!

🏆 Publications

We propose the Model Atlas, an interactive visualization and analysis tool for exploring large-scale AI model repositories. To explore the hidden potential of model repositories, we chart a preliminary atlas representing the documented fraction of Hugging Face. It provides stunning visualizations of the model landscape and evolution. We demonstrate several applications of this atlas including predicting model attributes (e.g., accuracy), and analyzing trends in computer vision models. However, as the current atlas remains incomplete, we propose a method for charting undocumented regions.
