Graduate Projects

July 2018 - Present

InfoRL: Interpretable Reinforcement Learning

Thesis Project

Developed and implemented InfoPPO algorithm which uses information maximization to learn interpretable latent codes. Ran the experiments on OpenAI Mujoco environments to learn latent codes controlling varied configuration over trajectories. Trained policy can control speed, configuration, etc for Mujoco control tasks like Walker, Humanoid, etc. Reduced the problem of over-fitting in multi-agent self-competition learning using this algorithm.

January 2018 - June 2018

Multi-Task Learning using Adversarial Imitation Learning

Thesis Project

Implemented Generative Adversarial Networks for Imitation Learning on complex RL environments. Implemented an algorithm to learn a single policy to perform multiple but correlated tasks in Mujoco environments. Implemented successful imitation of 2 different driving (pass and turn) tasks in TORCS environment. Paper accepted at NIPS’18 Workshop on Imitation Learning and its Challenges in Robotics.

July 2017 - November 2017

Attack-GANs

Probabilistic Machine Learning

Implemented 2 novel approaches to generate adversarial samples to attack Deep Learning based classifiers Used Generative Adversarial training inspired by GANs to learn a generative model to attack Neural Networks

January 2017 - June 2017

Transfer Learning using RL agent

Visual Recognition

Implemented and trained Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic Method based agent for DOOM environment. Used the trained Convolutional layers of the agent to perform Computer Vision tasks like object detection,etc

Undergraduate Projects

August 2016 - November 2016

Helicopter Control using
Deep Reinforcement Learning

Undergraduate Project

Implemented continuous control using actor-critic based deep reinforcement algorithm in Keras. Trained a helicopter agent to learn different tasks from Reinforcement Learning Challenge 2014.

May 2016 - July 2015

Deep Population Genetics

Research Internship NYU

Implemented pre-processing of genetic data from FSTAT format to allele-frequency matrix. Implemented dimensionality reduction by Auto-encoders using Tensorflow and Keras on HPC cluster. Implemented optimal number of clusters prediction using t-SNE, Silhouette coefficient and k-means clustering. Algorithm is used for deciphering organization of populations in space and time using genetic data.
