WildMe - 2022
Developed deep learning based method of automatically segmenting animal images for animal identification pipeline. Significantly reduced cost of annotation and increase segmentation performance with self-supervision and weak-supervision training scheme.
Northwestern University - 2022
Researched plan-sharing and collaboration among deep RL agents. Developed RL ensemble learning method where agents learned to leverage sophisticated plan sharing strategies over simple traditional ensembeling methods.
Northwestern Image Video Processing Lab (IVPL) - 2021
Developed new deep learning architectures for video super resolution (VSR) based on vision transformers (ViT) and CNNs. Experimentation done on Vimeo-90K dataset.
Northwestern University - 2021
Collaborated with Northwestern C3 Lab to develop narrative generation architecture based on LLM and narrative planning system. The objective was to combine traditional AI planning engines, narrative frames, and LLMs (GPT-2) to generate a coherent narrative script based on input character and plot parameters. This was at a time when the best LLMs failed at generating long coherent structured narratives.
Northwestern University - 2021
Researched methods for measuring and generating novelty and open-endedness using cellular automaton. Trained with genetic algorithms and as neural cellular automaton (NCA).
Benedictine University - 2020
Researched several variational auto-encoder (VAE) based methods of defending image models against adversarial attacks by reconstructing input images to remove adversarial perturbations.
