Hi, I'm Sahil Chelaramani!

Research Scholar in Computer Vision

What I am all about.

Hi! My name is Sahil Chelaramani. I am a data scientist at Microsoft Bing, who works on problems at the nexus of Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. As an MS student at the International Institute of Information Technology, I was advised by Prof. C.V. Jawahar. My masters thesis broadly focused on the use of multiple mediums such as text, images, video and sketches to tell coherent stories.

I have also worked on two startups before shifting gears towards research.

I also happen to be an avid reader, who has a spontaneous need to travel.

To get to know me better, try running this python script.

Expertise

Machine Learning

I happen to be on a quest to build Skynet.

Computer Vision

Skynet needs to find Sarah Connor, right??

Natural Language Processing

It'd be nice to have a J.A.R.V.I.S. like interface too!

Optimization Theory

Because I'm lazy enough to want to do things in the most efficent manner possible

Outdoors

I love travelling and am always looking out for places to visit. Send me an email if you have a place that you think I should visit or need help deciding where to go!

Music

I happen to be a wannabe Guitar enthusiast. I listen to a wide variety of music and you can check my music history on: last.fm. You can also checkout my 8tracks page.

Art

Everytime I walk into an art museum, I think "Oh, $500 for that? I could make that for $5". Needless to say, I don't get art, but I do sketch. Uploads pending!
