Democratization of Deep Learning - #NeurIPS 2019

Deep learning is one of the most penetrating technologies into various domains, problem areas, and challenges. However, whether you are a student, or a practictioner, or a researcher, or a software engineer, or a business user, you must have asked one of the following questions, or faced one of the following challenges.

What am I Doing in Research?

When I am having an unplanned holiday, I tend to have some time for myself - to think about my past, my present, and maybe my future. Especially, when I am having an unplanned holiday because I fell sick, I will reach my heights of introspection. The result of such a deep introspection is the …

Automated Bug Triaging

The process of bug triaging consists of multiple steps where the first step primarily involves assigning the bug to one of the developers who has the expertise to solve the bug. In large scale systems, with high rates of incoming bugs, manually analyzing and triaging a bug report is laborious. Thus, can this process of bug triaging be automated?

A Journey from Weekend Project to Watson Product

Everyone of us have hobby projects and weekend hack nights. Sometimes outside work we try to pursue our passions and keep our tech hunger satisfied. What if your hobby becomes your full time work, your passion earns you money, and you could do all of these without the need to do a startup? Here is a short journey of how one of my weekend project evolved slowly and steadily into a mature project and got integrated into Watson Studio.

Natural Language Regression using DL-IDE

While working with natural langauge processing, we often come across the task of predicting a continuous valued integer output for a given input sentence. This includes tasks such as (i) sentiment prediction for a statement, (ii) impact prediction of a title, (iii) grammatical correctness of a sentence, (iv) importance of a tweet, and many more. This is commonly called as natural language regression.

ML4Creativity - Workshop @ KDD-2017, Halifax, Canada

The first workshop on Machine Learning for Creativity (ML4Creativity) was co-hosted with KDD-2017, held at Halifax, Nova Scotia. I was one of the co-organizers of this exciting workshop along with my colleageus from IBM Research, Sony CSL, Google Brain, and UIUC.

In this blog post, I share my summary of this workshop, along with some interesting observations, and key take-ways.
