Mathematics and Computing(Hons.) from the Indian Institute of
Technology(BHU), Varanasi. I’ve developed a passion
for Reinforcement Learning, and I'm intrigued by its research prospects.
I'm decidedly interested in pursuing independent research(PhD). I have
also written a blog(<a style="text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(66,133,244)" rel="noreferrer" href="https://adityauser.github.io/blog/" target="_blank">link</a>) on my research interest.</div><div><div><br></div><div>I'm
personally interested in Project #8: Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving with Gazebo and OpenAI gym. I'm very much familiar with OpenAI gym and Gazebo, I have also used CARLA Simulator. The projects aim to do some comparisons among the already implemented algorithms. I have created an execution plan please <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ajGLBtdtWupTwYiPr5RJqHP26twtR3mqtQKcefR2AnE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">look</a> into it and enrich it with your ideas. I have written a short <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MtX2tIvyUW3O-Pzgpu3jI23Xua8_TcgS1QPx_koUZNY/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">note</a> which explains why I specifically want to work on Project 8.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Current and previous experience:</b><br></div><div>1.
Currently, I'm trying to extend Q learning with UCB-Hoeffding bonus to the continuous state space domain. This project part of my stream project, which is under the supervision of <u>Dr. Kailasam Lakshmanan</u>. </div><div><div>2. I have implemented multiple Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms(including <u>C51, QR-DQN</u>), <a href="https://github.com/adityauser/Quest-RL" target="_blank">here</a> are some of them. <br></div><div>3. This summer, I worked with<u> Prof. Rishi Kamaleswaran, The University of Tennessee</u>,
on Fever and Sepsis onset prediction, using CNNs and data science techniques. The abstract and poster for Sepsis Onset prediction are published in HIPOCT’ 19 conferences. The fever onset prediction project was under the umbrella of Google Summer of Code' 19(<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/154Foh89yvx1N6-NAUMncTykJ9dVVwgxM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Completion Letter</a> by Tony Urso, GSoC Program Manager), you can <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lIgtJuxtw2dubpIM-NBKEGZld6eMjP2j/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">look</a> in the feedback provided by my mentor for more detail. <br></div></div><div><br></div><div>I have completed both C++ and Python task:</div><div>C++ task: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G_w5roFuHONaqW54zY-NqDY6wt7FkPek?usp=sharing" target="_blank">link</a><br></div><div>Python task: <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lNHuJwg_GJIF7hYFAM5NtyRDjxdNvQ63?usp=sharing" target="_blank">link</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>You can check my <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-0xtGAUZZUn1ofmKQle7251GtekP1x5R/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">CV</a>
