About Sivakumar Balasubramanian

I am interested in designing DL methods for Speech/CV/NLP domains as well as areas like Recommender Systems that combine multiple domains. I like the challenge of learning useful representations for new data and counter the problem of less labelled data by using techniques to extract as much useful information from unlabeled data. To this end, I am interested in exploring data augmentations, transfer learning, few-shot learning and self-supervised learning methods. With the boom in ML/DL/AI, I feel it is important to know how to apply these techniques for different problem domains. I am looking forward to learn more in this front.
