Piyushi Manupriya
Interested in Mathematical Guarantees & Elegant Codes
I am an ML postdoc, immensely fortunate to be working with Prof. Anant Raj on optimization & ML theory.
I did my Master's-PhD dual degree from CSE, IIT Hyderabad. My PhD, under Prof. J. Saketha Nath, was on improving the formulations for the problem of optimal transport leveraging kernel methods; where I was kindly supported by the Google PhD Fellowship.
During my Master's under Prof. Vineeth N Balasubramanian, I worked on attribution algorithms for interpretable DL.
Prior to that, I did my BTech in CSE from NIT Uttarakhand (in the Garhwal Himalayas), during which I was chosen for the IASc-INSA-NASI Summer Research Fellowship '17 at ISI Kolkata.
I aspire to be an ML theoretician. In future, I expect to also work on other research problems, especially in online learning, pruning, fairness, privacy and AI for healthcare.
