Biography

I am a CS junior at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. Currently, I am working as a Remote Intern at the SHI Lab, University of Oregon with Professor Humphrey Shi. I am also working as a Research Intern with the Picsart AI Research (PAIR) team at Picsart.

At IIT Roorkee, I am a member of a Deep Learning-centric discussion group named the Vision and Language Group. I also hold the position of a devloper and project manager at the Mobile Development Group.

To relax my mind amidst the madness that goes around the world, I listen to pop music, read books, or write blogs. I am one of those people who follows cricket as a religion. Contact me if you want to discuss about pop-music, books, cricket or just ping me, we will find a topic!

SeMask: Semantically Masked Transformers for Semantic Segmentation
This paper argues that incorporating semantic information of the image into pretrained hierarchical transformer-based backbones while finetuning improves the performance considerably. To achieve this, we propose SeMask, a simple and effective framework that incorporates semantic information into the encoder with the help of a semantic attention operation.

SeMask: Semantically Masked Transformers for Semantic Segmentation
DEAP Cache: Deep Eviction Admission and Prefetching for Cache
Recent approaches for learning policies to improve caching, target just one out of the prefetching, admission and eviction processes. In contrast, we propose an end to end pipeline to learn all three policies using machine learning.

Summer Diaries: Intern Diary of an Undergrad DL Researcher

This summer, I worked as a remote research intern at SHI Lab @ University of Oregon (UO) and Picsart AI Research (PAIR). I joined the SHI Lab to work with Professor Humphrey Shi in November 2020 during my second year and continued my work there during the summers, and I joined PAIR during the summers (June 2021).
