We had the pleasure of interacting with Mr. Avisek Lahiri, a doctoral student at IIT Kharagpur, as a part of our ML-India interview series.
Mr. Avisek Lahiri joined IIT-KGP in 2013 as a master's student in the computer vision lab. After having worked in the field of computer vision, machine learning (ML) caught his attention and he joined the same department as a PhD student. He talks about his research on Image Captioning using ML and the data annotation problem in supervised ML. He also talks about the current state and growth of innovative ML start-ups in India and also talks about other projects being worked on in his lab. He stresses on the need to improve foreign collaborations in ML research which could bring in fresh ideas and a culture of innovation.
