Nikhil Kumar Lakumarapu — AI Researcher
Deep Learning Researcher working towards enabling businesses to effortlessly create high-quality, customized videos with AI at Unscript. Ex-AI Research Scientist at Samsung R&D, Seoul. IIT Bombay alum. Had a stint as a research intern at TU Kaiserslautern, Germany. My day-to-day at Unscript involves research and development of state-of-the-art technologies in the video and audio generative AI field. My major interests revolve around stable diffusion, NERF-based 3D models, and the good old CNN-based encoder-decoder models. I have also been involved in client deliverables and collaboration extensively. We at Unscript have served a diverse range of esteemed clients, including HealthifyMe, Amazin Graze, Floworks, RadioCity, HUL, and Bombay Shaving Company. I have also worked extensively around end-to-end approaches for Speech translation. I at Samsung developed end-to-end approaches that beat the existing state-of-the-art cascaded model's performance at much lower latencies. These models have been deployed in the latest S24 Galaxy mobile as their star feature named AI call translation. I have also had the privilege to publish at few of the top-tier speech conferences like ICASSP, and Interspeech, and have a top-3 ranked submission at the IWSLT competition.
