నమస్తే, My name is Akhil | 🥐 ☕ 🍜

I’m a Ph.D student working on addressing ways to comprehend, and estimate the Reproducibility crisis in AI, and come up with heuristics to enhance the reproducibility of published work. I am advised by Dr. Hamed Alhoori, and my research is fully funded by the NSF grant.

How do we quantify uncertainty in deep learning models ?

Neural Networks Everywhere The genesis of Deep Learning began primarily in 2012 when researchers were able to capture the information present in millions of images and accurately predict class labels. This breakthrough was a culmination of multiple scientific developments. Quintessentially, Neural networks are universal functional approximators and this innate quality allows them to applied on diverse problem spaces. This is the fundamental reason behind the pervasive nature of Neural Networks....

Morality - it's influence on thought and action

I am not a philosopher but I observe the fundamental nature of things in my surroundings. Right from my childhood to this moment when I am orchestrating this article there are countless thoughts that surround my head when my inner self whispers “morality”. My thought process takes quick writhing movements wandering around searching for answers. The reason for me writing this piece is to both look for answers and portray my ethos....

The three C's of Javascript

You might be wondering what the three C’s are : Currying Closures Callbacks Ok what are those ? Before I start, let me tell you that in Javascript Functions are Objects. So every object in Javascript, be it Number, String, Array; Every Object in javascript has a prototype object. For instance if the object is declared using an object literal then, it has access to Object.prototype, Similarly all the arrays so declared have access to the Array....

numgo - ND Array based math library for Go

numgo - ND Array based math library for Go Mathematical computations and statistical operations contribute immensely to the development of machine learning models in diverse disciplines. Arrays are the most frequently used data structure in most of these applications. Basing on this I have thought of porting python’s numpy library to go-lang. The name of the project is numgo. After learning go-lang I always wanted to practically implement something with the knowledge I have gathered....

pubundsci - An independent research study

While technological and scientific advancement paved its way in the 20th century giving scope for researchers to publish of a plethora of scientific literature, “Public Understanding of Science” has been at the center stage of discussion among researchers for the past decade. This very concern sprouts from the fact that most of the scientific reportage that occurs on News Media is subject to personal interpretation. Also, the misapprehensions of the scientific findings can cause repercussions of unimaginable scale in the real world....

Compatibility for the Web

Webcompat, is one of the recent interests that I find myself occupied with. The community is wonderful and the whole idea of having a place where users can report problems is quite fantastic. I believe that this can evolve as something greater, since webcompat.com is not only a website that focusses on bug reporting and problems, since I believe that it is a common ecosystem where users, developers and site owners are notified with the issues on the web....

Tuning the GNU/Linux System

I always used to find myself in a difficult situation when I had to travel and work. The main reason for this is my machine had a GNU/Linux based distro running and I couldn’t stay away from a charging spot for more than two hours. I always was intrigued to explore this segment and solve this very problem in order to better my travel experience. Basically there are couple of things to be kept in mind before you go out and try the tricks mentioned here, Consider them basics; So they are :...
