I work on machine learning research at Mastercard's AI Garage, at the intersection of applied systems and publishable science. My current work focuses on representation learning, data-efficient training, and understanding what makes models memorize versus generalize, especially under noisy labels, class imbalance, and limited supervision.
I did my MTech in AI at IISc Bangalore, under Prof Soma Biswas. Before that, I was at GCE Kannur, where I first got curious about how machine learning models actually learn.
I also write: research notes, personal essays and learnings, and about the small details of ordinary life.
