Michał Wysocki

I build machine learning systems that model and predict the real world.

Autonomous systems and multimodal detection in practice; world models and representation learning in research.

Selected Work

Anchor

In progress

path consistency for latent world models

A self-supervised mechanism that penalizes disagreement between horizon-conditioned direct prediction and autoregressive rollout, aimed at reducing compound error in latent rollouts. Designed as an importable component rather than a standalone architecture.

Drone Audio Detection

In progress

acoustic early warning, and where it breaks

A Random Forest classifier on MFCC features reaching strong held-out metrics that then failed on real recordings while misflagging ambient noise. The case study is built around that gap: real-world test sets at fixed distances, cross-drone generalization, and an explicit account of what the training data does not contain.

Doc Research OS

In progress

a document research tool I actually use

A local RAG system for reading and querying research material: FastAPI backend, ChromaDB vector store, React frontend, running under Docker Compose. Built to make studying under load tractable.

About

I'm an ML engineer working on autonomous systems, multimodal learning, and prediction from sensor data. I like working across the full span of a problem — from data and experiments to evaluation and systems that actually run — rather than focusing on the model alone.

What draws me most is machine learning that tries to model the world, not just classify static data. My research interests are world models, representation learning, self-supervised learning, and long-horizon prediction; Anchor is where most of that thinking currently goes. In the long term, I want to work where research turns into systems that operate beyond benchmarks.

I study Data Engineering and Analytics at Rzeszów University of Technology and serve as Vice President of the Machine Learning Science Club, where my work spans research projects, events, and teaching.
