Experience
Academic Research
Graduate Research Assistant, Carnegie Mellon University September 2017 - present
Deep Intermodal Video Analytics (DIVA) Mentor : Prof.Alexander Hauptmann
Deep Intermodal Video Analytics intends to develop robust automated activity detection for a multi-camera streaming video environment.
Working on the system integration and develop the pipeline provided from Kitware to run an end to end object detection and event localization task.
Created a docker image with all software dependencies installed with errors resolved working in conjunction with the Kitware Team.
Acoustic Analysis of Gunshot Recordings [Public Safety Project] Mentor: Prof.Alexander Hauptmann
Designed a crawler to crawl the web and search relevant sound samples for training gunshot audio event detectors.
Performed a literature survey on acoustic analysis of Gunshot recordings and understood how the information could be leveraged to build stronger classifiers.
Achieved a baseline performance of 20 percent mean average precision to detect type of gun from acoustic analysis of gunshots and draw further inferences from audio analysis
Developing a user interface to display gunshots and performing testing on the real world incidents such as Las Vegas Mass Shooting attack to validate the results
Research Scholar , CMU-NITK Winterschool December 2014 - present
Never Ending Learning of Sound [NELS] Mentor: Prof.Bhiksha Raj and Prof Rita Singh
Developed a web-based artificial intelligence system to continuously crawl the web, detect and index sounds and automatically learn their meanings, associations, and semantics to events, objects and places with minimal human intervention.
Designed a crawler to continuously crawl the web in search of sound samples for self-training audio detectors.
Created sound vocabularies and performed audio content analysis using machine learning algorithms.
Developed an intuitive web interface to obtain user feedback for semi-supervised learning accessible at nels.cs.cmu.edu.
Improving sound detectors through enhanced database of crawled sounds, implementing feature extraction techniques, classifier fusion and artificial neural networks approach
