About Me

I am an MSCS student at University of Southern California. Previously I worked in the Tech Division at Goldman Sachs in India and I interned at Google and Tessel@Rails Girls Summer of Code program. I am also an AI researcher, specialising in neural architecture search which is like AutoML but for convolutional neural networks. You can check out my publications here. At Goldman, I work in the SecDB Architecture team where we are working on internal trading databases in production. I have ample experience in working with databases, microservice architectures, APIs, production software deployment and maintenance and distributed systems. I completed my bachelors in CS from IIIT Delhi in 2020. I am also a core member of Women in Machine Learning and Data Science (WiMLDS) chapter in Delhi and have a bit of mentoring experience on my hands. I like to paint and watch Netflix during my free time.

Publications

NEAP-F: Network Epoch Accuracy Prediction Framework [AAAI 2021]

This framework predicts the testing accuracy achieved by a convolutional neural network in one or more epochs. It helps in finding optimal neural networks, and reduces time involved in training candidate networks. Published under the guidance of Prof. Mayank Vatsa and Prof. Richa Singh (IIT Jodhpur, India)

Application of Artificial Intelligence for performance enhancement of Electrostatic Precipitator [NFEST 2018]

Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are widely used to capture fly ash generated due to combustion of coal in thermal power plants. This paper explains use of artificial intelligence to replicate human knowledge to optimize ESP performance and identifying the probable causes for many ESP related problems. Published under the guidance of Prof. Vikas Rastogi (Delhi Technological University, India)

Bachelor's Thesis-Predicting Neural Network Architecture

Thesis project under professors Prof. Mayank Vatsa and Prof. Richa Singh to develop an algorithm that can predict neural network architecture for a given dataset, eliminating the need for hand crafted neural networks.
