Bonjour! I'm Subhankar Maity (শুভঙ্কর মাইতি), a postdoctoral researcher currently working at the LyRIDS Lab, ECE Paris, in collaboration with Prof. Guilherme MEDEIROS MACHADO and Prof. Faiza BELBACHIR, as well as the team of Prof. Omar BOUCELMA from the Computer Science and Systems Laboratory (UMR-CNRS) of Aix-Marseille University (AMU) and the University of Toulon (UTLN). Our research focuses on the theme "Generative AI and Data Traceability".

Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. My doctoral research focused on the fascinating intersection of Generative AI and Education, and explored innovative applications under the guidance of  Prof. Sudeshna Sarkar at IIT Kharagpur. Beyond this, my interests span across Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a particular emphasis on leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) in various domains such as legal, healthcare, social media, and beyond.

During the last year of my Ph.D., I also worked as a Human Frontier Collective Fellow at Scale AI, a leading GenAI company recently backed by Meta. During this 3-month remote internship at scale, I designed challenging, domain-specific problems and datasets to test cutting-edge generative AI models. I evaluated model outputs and provided insightful feedback (contributing to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, RLHF), which directly improved model accuracy, robustness, and overall performance.

I am also a Perplexity Campus Partner for IIT Kharagpur, bringing the innovative agentic browser, Comet (Browse at the speed of thought), to campus!

I'm deeply committed to advancing the frontiers of AI and its real-world applications, striving to make meaningful contributions to academia, industry, and society alike!
