Riya Gupta

I am a Machine Learning Engineer in the Central R&D department, Silicon Laboratories Inc. where I work on ASR and voice recoginition. I graduated from Columbia University NYC, with the MS in Electrical & Computer Engineering Department with the focus on Machine Learning Research, where I was lucky to be advised by Prof. Shih-Fu Chang. I have also worked with Prof. Julia Hirschberg on intent analysis using Generative AI and LLMs.

Prior to Columbia, I was a part of GREYC Lab (UNICAEN-CNRS-ENSICAEN), advised by Prof. Gaël Dias working on Neural Text Style Transfer and Natural Language Processing. I was also very fortunate to work with Prof. C.V. Jawahar on computer vision, NLP & IRE.

Research

I am extremely intrigued about mulitmodal and representation learning. Most of my prior research has been mulitmodal learning involving Computer Vision and NLP majorly. I picked up interest in Reinforcement Learning & Speech domain during my time at Columbia. in the past I have also worked onInformation Retrieval & Extraction, and applied Computer Vision. I love to indulge in the mathematics behind the machine learning algorithms and models.

An introduction to sequential decision making and reinforcement learning, with a discussion of utility theory to learn how preferences can be represented and modeled for decision making.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) based Search Engine to make an Information Retrieval & Extraction (IRE) system for low resource Indic languages.

A novel and large-scale dataset along with the 3D CNN architecture for driver eye gaze prediction on the road for Indian Road Systems.
