Anush Sankaran — AI Researcher
For updated publication list, please look at https://goodboyanush.github.io/blogs/bio.html My passion lies in truly democratizing AI/Deep Learning. With all the promises of AI, it still has some major bottleneck in consumption: steep learning curve for people, and not friendly across different hardware architectures (embedded system). Over the last 5+ years of my industrial research career, I have strived to make deep learning more friendly to use and deploy: 1. IBM Deep Learning IDE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDQ0AWcUBnE): Built the first no-coding, visual drag-and-drop platform to design deep learning models and automatically generatel code in Pytorch, TF, Keras, Caffe. Product Release @ IBM Think Event 2018! 2. DLPaper2Code (https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.03543): Convert the PDF of a research paper directly into execution ready code by extracting text and image information from papers. 3. DL Model Recommend (https://github.com/goodboyanush/dl-model-recommend): For a given dataset, recommend a suitable DL model and also predict the model's accuracy on the given dataset. Avoid unnecessary brute force exploration of existing models (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbDKQQZqKvU). 4. Deeplite Neutrino (https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.04073): Given any dataset/model, automatically compress the model's architecture by optimizing the model size, number of paramerters, and execution time, and enable the huge model to be deployed on any low-power, low-cost edge device. My Ph.D. thesis lies in the domain of applied deep learning in the intersection of computer vision and biometrics, titled "Learning Representations for Fingerprint Variants". My thesis advisors are Dr. Mayank Vatsa and Dr. Richa Singh. I was awarded the prestigious TCS Research Fellowship for my Ph.D.
