Siegen, Germany.

Hi 👋, I am a Student, Blogger, software developer and an Aspiring ML Engineer. I am from India and I am currently pursuing Master's in Computer Science at University of Siegen, Germany. I am passionate about Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain and its related fields. In my free time I write blogs related to machine learning in my personal blog page.

In 2019, during my undergraduate studies, I completed the Machine Learning course by Stanford University on Coursera. This experience sparked my interest in computers and intelligent machines. Following this course, I also completed the Deep Learning Specialization, AI for Medicine Specialization, and Natural Language Processing Specialization by deeplearning.ai on Coursera. I strongly believed that Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in shaping the future of the technology industry. I recognized that, AI revolution will redefine human-computer interaction, and I decided to be a part of it. This led me to pursue a Master's in Computer Science with a specialization in Visual Computing at the University of Siegen, Germany. I am continually learning and updating my knowledge in the field of AI and Machine Learning. This has been my journey so far, and I am excited to learn more and contribute to the community.

Depth Fusion in Transformer-based Video Object Detection

Master Thesis

• Developing depth fusion techniques for Transformer-based video object detection.
• Implemented a deformable-attention based latefusion mechanism to effectively fuse depth data into RGB pipeline.
• Implemented fusion as an attachable module, so that the same model can work with and without depth data.
• Significantly reduced false positives with the depth fusion module and improved the overall model perform
