About

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.

Sep 2018Aug 2023 · 4 yrs 11 mos · Seoul, South Korea

  • Some of the projects I worked on at Samsung Research:
  • Speech/Text Translation (2019-2021): Worked on end-to-end models to address low resource, error propagation, and inference time issues in speech translation systems. We proposed meta-learning (ICASSP 2020) and task-aware multi-task learning (ICASSP 2021) deep learning models to address the above issues and achieved significant performance improvements on several language pairs. I have experience in developing translation systems for several language pairs (English-German, English-French, English-Korean, ...)
  • Received Samsung Best Paper Award in 2020 for the research on direct speech translation.
  • Object Search in Images: Designed and deployed image-based product search for Bixby Vision using Caffe and Tensorflow, optimized for low runtime and memory, currently running on 100 million+ smartphones
