Hello,
I am a fifth year research fellow working towards my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Utpal Garain at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Unit, ISI Kolkata.
My current research is focused on trying to inculcate key features of symbolic AI techniques, like domain constraint awareness, logical coherence, etc., into deep learning-based systems. Addition of logical constraints and pre-existing knowledge not only makes these systems more deployable to critical applications but also makes them more data efficient and performant. This problem shows up in many domains and thus leads me to work in several fields like natural language, medicine, biology, astrophysics and diverse business applications.
