Jared Weissberg

I’m Jared Weissberg, a Stanford alumnus in economics and computer science. I work on machine learning and robotics, and outside of that, I'm a classical cellist.

I completed my BA and MS at Stanford in three years, graduating with a 4.0 GPA.

Here’s me at Carnegie Hall, plus performances of Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations and Bach's Suite No. 3, Prelude.

Computer Science Research

At Stanford, I worked on research in robotics, AI, and speech, including work with Hazy Research, SAIL, and researchers at Meta.

Selected Papers

• A Study of Visuomotor Behavior Cloning: Performance Considering Real-Time Requirements
• A Spectrogram is Worth 16 x 16 Words: Vision Transformers for Spoken Language Understanding
• Visuomotor Behavior Cloning Example

Coursework and Teaching

In my third year, I taught CS229, CS224S, and CS256, helping lead lectures, write exams, and run sections.

Selected Coursework: Math 230, CS140E, CS261, CS254, CS231N, CS224N.

Economics Research

• Examining the Effect of the Number of Arts Teachers on the Number of 2-Year and 4-Year Arts Degree Completions Across California Counties

Experience

I've also worked in finance, startups, and venture, including roles at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, P10Y, and Founder Partners.

At Stanford, I founded the Stanford Cowell Fund.

Other Work

I played in the Stanford Symphony and studied for a time at the London School of Economics.

Earlier, I founded a food insecurity nonprofit focused on serving children in underserved communities.

Outside the Lab

Before college, I was principal cellist of Orange County School of the Arts and the Orange County Youth Symphony.

For fun, I like long bike rides and once cycled from Geneva to Nice.
