Deep Item Response Theory
11 September 2023, IIT-Bombay
Deep Item Response Theory (Deep IRT) is an extension of the traditional IRT which is used to analyze the properties of tests and items in educational assessments, focusing on the relationship between the latent traits of individuals and their item responses. Deep IRT takes this further by employing deep learning techniques like attention to model complex non-linear relationships between items and latent traits.
MS Thesis Defense
11 July 2023, IISER-Kolkata, MPI-NAT
My Master's Thesis under Prof. Johannes Soeding was presented in front of the Quantitative and Computational Biology group at MPI-NAT along with my mentors Prof. Satyaki Mazumder and Prof. Anirvan Chakraborty at IISER Kolkata.
Variational Inference
10 November 2022, IISER-Kolkata
Variational Inference offers an alternative to MCMC for approximating complex posterior distributions. This was an introductory talk introducing the basics of VI and how the seminal paper on Stochastic Variational Inference helped make VI faster and scalable.
Computational Number Theory
12 October 2022, IISER-Kolkata
An introductory talk on CNT introducing Fast Exponentiation, Euler Theorem, Gauss Divisor Lemma and Modular Inversion.
Speech Enhancement in TTS Systems
15 December 2021, Skit AI
My findings on enhancing speech in TTS Systems using Signal Processing, ML and DL techniques presented to the Tech team of Skit AI.
