Research/Industry projects

  • Neural-Guided Deductive Search for Real-Time Program Synthesis from Examples
    Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Lab India Pvt. Ltd.
    Guide: Dr. Prateek Jain
    Implemented NGDS - a hybrid technique that combines symbolic logic techniques and statistical models to reduce branch exploration in PROSE by over 50% and gain speed up of over 10x in important benchmarks.
    Patent filed and research paper accepted as a conference paper at the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2018.

  • Static Module Verifier Automation
    Research Intern at Microsoft Research Lab India Pvt. Ltd.
    Guide: Dr. Rahul Kumar, Dr. Bharat M. Deshpande
    As a part of my undergraduation thesis at MSR, enabled Whole Program analysis as a Service. Successfully ran SMV on the entire Windows drivers code base and found 350+ null-pointer and use-after-free bugs.

  • Automated Content Correction and Validation Engine
    Software Development Engineering Intern, Amazon Development Centre India Pvt. Ltd
    Worked on adding features and improving the automated content correction and validation engine in the Amazon retail pipeline. Also worked on implementing the infrastructure for a feedback system to reduce manual intervention using AWS tools.
  • New-entity extraction from Bing query logs
    Machine Learning Intern, Microsoft India Development Center
    Guide: Narayanan Subramanian
    Implemented a classifier to find new/missing restaurants in the Bing database levaraging user query logs. Achieved accuracy of over 90%.
  • Open-sourcing remote-sensing software ERDAS
    Intern, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun
    Implemented a tool to process satellite images and open-sourced the commonly used remote sensing software ERDAS. As a part of the project, we implemented several machine learning algorithms – SVM, K-means, etc. using which we were trying to build the various features of the software like vegetation mapping and cloud cover.
