Hey there, adventurers! I'm Kunal (कुणाल/কুনাল) Purkayastha – a researcher with a background in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology and currently an active researcher at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
My experience includes working as an organizing support staff for the International Conference on Pattern Recognition 2024, and being a recipient of the CHANAKYA fellowship (an initiative under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) of the Government of India)
When I'm not busy teaching computers how to see better than a hawk or hunting down text in images, I'm off on adventures in the realm of large language models. So if you're into tech, puns, and a dash of digital wizardry, hit me up – let’s decode this crazy world together!
