I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM). I did PhD in artificial intelligence (focused on computer vision and affective computing) at LIVIA lab, ETS Montreal, Canada under the supervision of Prof. Eric Granger and Prof. Patrick Cardinal in 2023. In my thesis, I have worked on developing weakly supervised learning (multiple instance learning) models for facial expression recognition in videos and novel attention models for audio-visual fusion in dimensional emotion recognition.
Before my PhD, I had 5 years of industrial research experience in computer vision, working for giant companies as well as start-ups including Samsung Research India, Synechron India and upGradCampus India. I also had the privilege of working with Prof. R. Venkatesh Babu at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on crowd flow analysis in videos. I did my Masters at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.
I'm interested in computer vision, affective computing, deep learning, and multimodal video understanding models. Most of my research revolves around video analytics, weakly supervised learning, facial behavior analysis, and audio-visual fusion.
