Hi!

I am a final year undergraduate student at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, pursuing a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. During my junior year, I had the opportunity of working with Prof. Konda Reddy at IIT Guwahati on Coreset Extraction techniques.

I am also an active member of IvLabs, the AI and Robotics Lab at VNIT led by Prof. Shital Chiddarwar. IvLabs has played a significant role in nurturing my research interests, where I worked on various projects, mentored juniors, and organized IEEE workshops on robotics. I also had the privilege of serving as the Vice-Chairman of our lab.

I am passionate about continuously improving my skills and expanding my knowledge. During my free time, I enjoy exploring my interests in programming and automation, contributing to open-source projects such as TorchVision, and creating Discord bots.

When not immersed in academics, I enjoy watching anime, playing basketball, and taking pictures of nature.

Research

I'm interested in the areas of Unsupervised Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Domain Adaptation and Robotics. I am open to collaborations and looking forward to research opportunities in similar domains, and I am also willing to explore new fields such as Natural Language Processing and Graph Neural Networks. Feel free to contact me.

Pre-Registration Workshop, NeurIPS, 2021
project page | arXiv | video | code

This work introduced a new setting for unsupervised domain adaptation and utilized a prototypical network to create domain embeddings. We used the Local Outlier Factor (LOF) to pseudo-label unknown classes, and used graph neural networks with attentional aggregation for the adaptation stage.

Face Unlock

project page | pdf | code

This project implemented Triplet Network and FaceNet algorithms from scratch with ResNet as the backbone architecture for face recognition. It was developed at IvLabs for one-shot and few-shot learning on different datasets and with the goal of deploying it as a face recognition-based door lock system.

Object Detection
Harsh Sharma, Muhammed Abdullah,
code

This project is an implementation of a sliding window technique with a two-stage detector, enhanced with the Overfeat framework, for object detection on a Raccoon Dataset.

PID Control and Path Planning for TurtleBot in ROS
Muhammed Abdullah
code

This project involved implementing a PID controller on a TurtleBot robot to perform a Goal-to-Goal task and Path Planning task. The controller was modeled using a Hermite curve to generate a trajectory for the robot's motion from the initial to the goal pose.
