Biography

Hello there!! I am a first year MS Student in Machine Learning at MBZUAI. Currenlty, I am working with Professor Zhiqiang Shen on improving the efficiency and reasoning capablities of LLMs, VLMs and T2I models.

Prior to this I worked as a Data Scientist at Meesho, where I worked on modeling Long-Term User Interactions and Product Quality. Before joining Meesho, I worked at Qure.AI, Wadhwani AI, UIUC, UNSW Sydney, and IIST Trivandrum. I have had the honor of publishing my research in prestigious journals and conferences, including the ECCV, Natural Language Processing Journal(Elsevier) and PLOS ONE.

How does Lasso regression(L1) encourage zero coefficients but not the L2?
We often read almost everywhere that Lasso regression **encourages zero coefficient, **and hence provide a great tool for variable selection as well but it is really difficult to get the intuition about this.

Artificial intelligence for topic modelling in Hindu philosophy: Mapping themes between the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita
Artificial intelligence for topic modelling in Hindu philosophy: Mapping themes between the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita

We use advanced language models such as BERT to provide topic modelling of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. We then map those topics of the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads since it is well known that Bhagavad Gita summarizes the key messages in the Upanishads. We also analyse the distinct and overlapping topics amongst the texts and visualise the link of selected texts of the Upanishads with the Bhagavad Gita.
