Working towards solving the problem of baby anthropometry in rural India to identify underweight babies and hence provide the necessary care.

Research Intern

Researcher

> Worked out fast, closed-form inference methods for a variety of flat and hierarchical MoE models.
> Beat strong MOE baselines on standard classification datasets and achieved 5-10x improvement in
training speed over traditional inference methods like BFGS and Gradient Descent.
> Overcame over-fitting by learning # of clusters/experts from data via a logistic stick-breaking prior network.
> Work presenly under review.

Research Assistant

> Pioneered public opinion based articles engaging the campus community and making their voices heard.
> Investigated pressing issues like problems faced by Ph.D. students and ragging on campus.
> Driven page likes to 13.8K from 3.5K over a span of 3 years. Recorded 2.5 times higher post engagement in comparison to media bodies of IIT Bombay and Madras.
> Led article on the effect of coaching on students that got published on Business Insider and Times of India.

Editor

> Attained ∼ 0.057% data summarization for extreme credit-card transaction datasets in a data-driven manner.
> Developed a time-evolving compact representation of data by using a Chinese restaurant process esque model
that begins with an initial clustering of a random sub-sample and grows as new data comes each day.
> Scaled the model to Industry Standards with spark for parallelization and Amazon Web Services.
> US Patent App. No. 15/912326 

Research And Development Intern

> Built institute’s 1st AUV, a vehicle capable of following lines, shoot torpedoes and drop markers autonomously underwater using data from sensors and computer vision, integrated with Robot Operating System (ROS).
> Secured 2nd position out of 14 at NIOT-SAVe finals, the biggest national level AUV comp. in India.
> Created a real-time robust underwater object interaction system using image processing methods to
improve visibility, shape-based pose detection algorithms and color based outline detectors.

Computer Vision Lead

> Built a voice recognition Robot that actuates its motors through voice and presented it at SnT day 2016.
> Managed workshop for 100+ students to create RC cars from scratch to promote robotics in the campus
