Experience

Project: Video Instance Segmentation

• Identified temporal instability as a performance bottleneck for video instance segmentation.

• Implemented an inter-frame attention head to propagate missing object instances and achieved state-of-the-art results on the YouTube-VIS benchmark using the Mask R-CNN pipeline.

• 1 paper under review at ICCV'21, 1 paper accepted at CVPRW'21.

• Developing a transformer-based object propagation method for end-to-end video instance segmentation.

Project: Detecting Adversarial Perturbations

• Developing a contrastive learning algorithm to detect adversarial attacks using diffusion models.

Project: Vital Parameter Estimation

• Examined periodicity in various sources such as eye tremor, iris/pupil dilation, lip/nose/eye colour variation, and wrist micromotion for heart rate estimation.

• Developed an anaemia detection algorithm using features from the conjunctiva and tongue.

Scope: Pioneer an AI engine to personalize home decor.

• Intelligent wall identification using 'Semantic Edge Detection'.

• Dynamic wall contour generation from edges using OpenCV.

• Trained a CASENet model on 300 images labelled with home decor elements (wall, floor, ceiling, bed, AC, TV, table, chair etc)

• Designed a Django web framework for Mego- an analytics-based business decision platform.

• Applied stochastic models to predict outcomes for financial firms.
