Experience

Research Intern - Georgia Institute of Technology

Working on Multimodal Visual grounding on images and videos using Open-Vocab Computer Vision techniques.

Computer Vision Intern - Zocket AI

Worked on content moderation engine for images generated by our AI Models according to policies of various social media sites. Trained and tuned background removal model for fine-grained and smooth output.

Research

I'm interested in Computer Vision, Multimodals, Machine Learning, Optimization

LLaVA-PlantDiag: Integrating Large-scale Vision-Language Abilities for Conversational Plant Pathology Diagnosis

LLaVA-PlantDiag, is a conversational AI system designed for plant pathology. We use visual instruction tuning for model finetuning. Our model outperforms others like GPT-4 Vision and Gemini, We also release first multimodal data on plant-pathology.

An Improved Hybrid Model for Target Detection

We worked on developing a refined model (YOLO and R-CNN Family) for detecting multiple objects by fusing thermal and visible images. The fusion techniques, including Multiscale Fusion, Channel-Based Fusion, and Blind Source Separation, significantly improve target detection in hazardous environments, enhancing safety and security in critical applications like autonomous driving and surveillance.
