First Sabera at Google and The Chen Institute - congrats @SaberaTalukder.
Excited to share that last week I joined @Google Research part time to take time series foundation models to the next level 🚀. Can't wait to share what we're cooking 🔥👩🍳. Fun fact according to my badges I'm the first person with the name "Sabera" to join Google 💁♀️.
