Description

Dr. Niloy Ganguly will focus in his talk on a primary aspect of Objective Engineering - Pre-training, which essentially is performing Self-Supervised Learning on unlabelled data, before training on task-specific labeled data. The talk discusses different pre-training techniques that have been leveraged to achieve consistently good evaluation performance in crystal graphs and when few-shot learning is applied for genomic applications.

Dr. Niloy Ganguly is Professor in the Departement of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur and currently a visiting professor at Leibniz University of Hannover. He is also a Fellow of Indian Academy of Engineering. He spent 2 years as a Research Scientist at Technische Universität Dresden, before joining IIT Kharagpur in 2005. He has risen to the rank of Professor in 2014. His research interests are primarily based in Social Computing, Machine Learning and Network Science. He published in 80 journals and 180 conferences in reputed venues.
