Research Projects

  1. Voice Conversion in Low-Resource Domains
    Working with Professor Preethi Jyothi (CSALT,CSE IITB) on voice conversion models for low-resource datasets of non-native speakers

  2. Age-of-Information Bandits with heterogenous data-rates
    Working with Professor Sharayu Moharir (Stochastic Systems Lab,EE IITB) on bandits with heterogenous data-rates and algorithms to minimize throughput and age-of-information regret.

  3. Language Models for Morphologically-Rich Languages
    Worked with Professor Preethi Jyothi to leverage inmplicit information in morphologically rich languages like Hindi, Tamil, Kannad & Finnish and use the structure of the words to design a better language model.
