Manas Jain
I am currently working as Data Scientist at Hilabs in the Natural Language Processing Team from July 2021. Before this, I spent four wonderful years as an undergraduate student at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay majoring in Civil Engineering with double minors in the Department of Computer Science and the Centre of Machine Intelligence and Data Science in 2021.
I was fortunate enough to collaborate with India's best AI researchers during my undergrad at IIT Bombay. I have been working closely with Prof. Pushpak Bhattacharyya and Prof. Sriparna Saha at the IIT Bombay CFILT Lab and IIT Patna AI-NLP-ML Group on my Bachelor Thesis. The project was an industry collaboration with LG Soft India for a real-time problem related to Natural Language Generation (NLG). Also I worked with Prof. Soumen Chakraborty on a semester long research project on Multilingual Relation Classification.
I also spent an awesome time working at Daikin Technology and Innovation Center, Osaka, Japan as an AI research intern working on activity recognition in videos using audio transcripts. Previously, I have also worked at Prodigal and Samespace as an AI research intern.
I was also member of the Self Driving Car(SeDriCa) student team (Innovation Cell, IIT Bombay) developing a fully autonomous self-driving car customized for Indian road conditions. I was part of the path planning subsystem and implemented algorithms to find the shortest path in real-time.
My hobbies include playing sports like Table Tennis, Lawn Tennis, cricket & basketball.
