🎉 Update: PhD completed (July 2024) • Now at NVIDIA.
I am Ayush Maheshwari (आयुष माहेश्वरी), working as Senior Solutions Architect at NVIDIA in the NVAITC India Team.
At NVIDIA, I focus on:
My work involves architecting AI solutions, conducting applied research, and enabling the broader research community through technical workshops and collaborations.
Previously, I have completed my PhD from CSE, IITB (India) with Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan. I was fortunate to be funded by Ekal fellowship from Ekal foundation during my PhD. My research interests lie in the area of Natural Language Processing, Graphs from machine learning perspective. I have worked on constrained neural machine translation and semi- and un-supervised machine learning problems with data-programming.
During my PhD, I was a key member of neural machine translation project, UDAAN, which helps publishers to quickly translate technical content in Indian languages. The project is open-source and used by several Indian government technical education agencies and official languages departments.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing tabletennis, cricket and reading about Indian culture, Ramáyaṇa and Mahábhárat.
