Profile
Abhra Chaudhuri
PhD Student in Computer Science
Short Bio:I am supervised by Anjan Dutta and Zeynep Akata. I am also an Intern at the Fujitsu Research of Europe, working in the Autonomous Learning group on making vision transformers robust to distribution shifts for image segmentation problems.
The general area of my research is representation learning from multiple views. Although I primarily deal with problems from computer vision, I am open to collaboration in other domains as well. I aim to design algorithms that are interpretable, and preferably, theoretically sound.
My interests lie in the mathematical foundations of computer science - information theory, linear algebra, graph theory and combinatorics to name a few. I also picked up a curiosity for functional programming and distributed systems during my stint as a software engineer at Informatica.
