Work History

Software Engineer - Research

Read-Ink Technologies Pvt Ltd.
Bangalore
03.2023 - Current

Collaborating with Prof. Thomas O. Binford (Emeritus, Stanford) to enhance online and offline handwriting recognition using deep learning and linguistic modeling across IAM and proprietary datasets.

  • Adapted Faster R-CNN with MobileNetV3 (320 FPN) for word-level cursive handwriting detection and recognition, achieving a 10% improvement in mean Average Precision (mAP) over standard baselines.
  • Incorporated the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) into the pipeline to improve spatial and channel-wise attention, enhancing localization and robustness across writing styles.
  • Applied dimensionality reduction techniques (t-SNE, UMAP, TriMAP) to visualize high-dimensional feature representations and support effective error analysis and model refinement.
  • Integrated visual recognition with linguistic priors and domain-specific augmentation, resulting in a 13% relative reduction in Word Error Rate (WER) on complex handwritten text.

Senior Software Engineer - Data Scientist

  • Workshop on Blockchain Technologies and Decentralized Environments, 07/01/21, Department of CSE, IIT Guwahati in collaboration with the University of Catania, Italy
  • State of the art conference on cutting edge science and technology in AI/ML, 01/10/23

Academic And Self Projects

  • Dual Attention-based CNN Framework for Retinal Disease Diagnosis, Presented an automatic retinal disease diagnosis method, Dual Attention Convolutional Neural Network (DACNN). DACNN uses inter-channel as well as the interspatial relationships of features to create an attention map for classification of the diseases and used Grad-CAM for highlighting the important region.
  • Multi-class email classification of labelled Enron email dataset, Involved multi-class classification of labelled Enron email dataset. The dataset contains 8 classes of emails. Prepared the data (data cleaning, feature engineering) and used several models to compare the model performance and fine-tuned the models.
  • Document Clustering using Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis, Involved the clustering of a number of documents using a probabilistic approach called Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA).
