About Me

Hi, I’m Jaydeep! I’m obsessed with lot of things, especially understanding the complex ML algorithms in the most intuitive manner, interpretability of Deep Learning systems, solving some real world problems using AI that can make the world a better place to live. My long term goal is to create ML models which are robust, could able to learn from very few samples, generalize beyond iid settings and can do a high level reasoning about the world. I consider myself polymath and I love connecting dots between AI and different fields.

I’m currently pursuing Masters in Computer science from Indiana University Bloomington. Prior to joining IUB, I was working as a Assocaite Data Scientist for a Indian start up called : ‘ParallelDots’.

If you are also excited about any of the topics that I mentioned above and want to share your thought, feel free to reach out to me. You can mail me or reach out to me via LinkedIn.
Thanks for being here.

Projects

Volumetric rendering using Neural Radiance Fields

github.com/Jd8111997/NeRF

This is one of the coolest application of computer vision!

This project is based on an implementation of NeRF(https://www.matthewtancik.com/nerf) paper to render a novel 3D view of a scene. The objective of this project was to learn about the 3D view reconstruction, neural rendering and depth estimation using latest state of the art model in computer vision.

Supervised Contrastive Learning for pretrained language models

github.com/Jd8111997/Supervised-contrastive-learning

Supervised contrastive learning proves a great technique for few shot learning!

This project is based on an implementation of supervised contrastive learning for pretrained language models paper(https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.01403).The main objective behind this project was to learn about few shot learning for data hungry large language models. We got fascinating results to see that after applying supervised contrastive loss; the model is able to learn a very good representation of discriminative features from very few samples.

I built it to enhance my crappy guitar riffs!

This purpose of working on this project was to explore the domain of speech enhancement by incorporating Speech Enhancement Generative Adversarial Networks.

Autoregressive Generative Models

github.com/Jd8111997/Auto-regressive-models

Feeling bored, let's make an AI model to generate some dog images:)

This project is based on an implementation of Autoregressive Generative Models such as PixelCNN, PixelCNN++ and GatedPixelCNN to generate a novel images of a dog.

Matrix optimization using Angular and Python

github.com/Jd8111997/ChatClub

After watching Silicon Valley TV series, I got inspired to work on decentralized chatting application.

The main objective for working on this project was to learn more about decentralization concepts and algorithms by developing a decentralized chat application based on popular open-source matrix protocol and synapse server using Angular as front-end and Python-twisted as a backend.

Isn't it too tiring to manually delete duplicate images from computer ?

This project was a PyQt based GUI application that can detect Duplicate Images by sensitivity hasing algorithm; It can also detect the noisy images and can automatically delete them based on the threshold.

Collaborative filtering won't work if you don't have enough data.

Beats is a music hosting site and music recommendation engine built in C# using collaborative filtering algorithms.
