Hi!
I am a final year undergraduate student pursuing a Double Major in Computer Science and Mathematics at BITS Pilani, Goa. I'm currently working on my senior thesis on Deep AutoML and Video Compression Research at Intel Labs and am also working on time-series anomaly detection for servers with ECMWF.In the past, I've been extremely fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to work on funded research projects under the guidance of Prof. Ashwin Srinivasan and Prof. Tirtharaj Dash with TCS Research and the Anuradha and Prashanth Palakurthi Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (APPCAIR) at BITS Goa .
My current research interests are focused towards (but aren’t limited to) Generative Modelling, Meta-Learning and Transfer Learning, particularly for Computer Vision. I also have dabbled a bit in Time-Series Forecasting and Anomaly Detection research and application.
Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you want to chat with me! :)

Work Experience
Currently working on Deep AutoML and Video Compression research
Research Intern | European Summer of Weather Code | Mentors: Dr. Peter Deuben, Matthew Manousakkis
ECMWF is an intergovernmental organisation that provides terabytes of meteorological data every day to multiple organizations and clients. Due to the scale, disruptions in the service can be very expensive.
Working on building a robust real-time time-series anomaly detection system using server log data to detect ECMWF server health and predict crashes,sudden disruptions and failures. as part of the European Summer of Weather Code 2020.
Built data pipelines and visualizations to help teams understand changes in developer work patterns and productivity during the COVID-19 crisis to enable teams to support employees better. Worked with ELK ( Elasticsearch - Logstash - Kibana ) stack. Code currently being used in production
Research Intern (in collaboration with APPCAIR,BITS Goa)
Worked on multiple research projects over the period of a summer and two semesters. Advisors : Prof. Ashwin Srinivasan, Prof. Tirtharaj Dash, Dr Lovekesh Vig, Pankaj Malhotra
Worked on building a DL based tool to assist radiologists. Built a pipeline comprising of lung segmentation/isolation U-Net model, followed by classifier augmented with symptom embeddings produced by the CheXpert network. Used explainablity methods (GradCAM, DeepLIFT) to provide interpretable and relatively trustworthy decisions.
Worked on using applying meta-learning based algorithms (REPTILE and MANN) to seq-2-seq based C-RNN models to effectively recognize handwritten text from documents in low-resource languages.
Worked on an building a robust time-series forecasting model that can learn to forecast well from cold starts. Experimented with transfer learning and optimization-based meta-learning approaches such as REPTILE and CAVIA on various time-series forecasting models
Research Intern | Advisor: Somsukla Maiti
Designed a fast and online solution for Drone Control using an EEG signal based Brain-computer Interface that also deals with the non-stationarity and inter-user variation of the data using Extreme Learning Machines and Deep Belief Networks.
Open Source
Developed a package for realtime timeseries Anomaly Detection. Implemented and integrated several state of the art ML and DL Anomaly Detection and Forecasting algorithms with a realtime graphical interface.
This work was funded by ECMWF's open source program - the European Summer of Weather Code.
