I am a Junior Project Attendent working with Prof. Avinash Sharma at the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Jodhpur. Prior to this I completed my undergrad in Bachelor's of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering in 2023.

I was fortunate to have been advised by fantastic researchers during my undergrad. Prior to this, I worked as an undergraduate researcher (intern) at the SWAN Group, Georgia State University,, advised by Dr. Ugur Kursuncu. Where I was engaged in studying human behaviour and intelligence on social media, integrating it with AI approaches to study and investigate their nature; I have also worked at NITTTR, Kolkata as a research intern .

My interest lies in broader areas in Computer Vision and Deep Learning. My current research focuses on studying various aspects of Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, strongly Digitizing Humans, Motion Capture, Deep Learning, and Dimensional Image Processing, especially with a focus in the space of 3D Vision - RGB-α, (x,y,z,θ,Φ), 3D reconstruction and Motion Transfer.

Research

My main research interests involves applied Computational Deep Learning & Computer Vision. I focus on exploring domains that involve excessive appilcations of problem solving with AI integrity in it, especially Deep Learning & Vision. I am generally interested in how to make train, train, and optimze better Computer Vision Models, out-performing in real-world parameters. Ocasionally I explore domains that are outside my major area of focu such as Linguistic Optmization in Natural Language Processing (NLP)/ Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and working as well studying the behaviour of LMs.

Automated recognition of optical image based potato leaf blight diseases using deep learning.
Kulendu K Chakraborty, Rashmi Mukherjee, Chandan Chakraborty, Kangana Bora.
Elsevier: Physiological and Molecular Plant , 2021.

doi | code

An AI based model is proposed for optical potato leaf image analysis for early and late blight disease identification. A benchmark dataset Plant Village is used to perform this study. Analysis is being performed to compare four deep learning model namely VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50 and MobileNet. The best model VGG16 is selected and tried to enhance its performance by parameter tweaking.

Semantic Segmentation of Brain Tumor on multi-band 3D volumes using 3D Neural Architectures
Kulendu K Chakraborty, Bishal Roy, Abhimanyu Kumar
Supervised by: Dr. Minakshi Gogoi, 2022-23

Project Page | [Slides]

Given a multi-band 3D scan of the brain (preferably MRI scans), the aim is to semantically segment the Tumor from the volumized layers. Using 3D U-Net as the baseline architecture, all the pixels are semantically segmented to produce the Masks for the provided multi-channel MRI input. BraTS 2020 Challenge Data has been selected as the 'Benchmark Data' for analyzing & performing further operations.

Collusive detection and analysis of black market websites.
Hridoy S. Dutta, Kulendu K Chakraborty
2021

Building algorithm architectures for detecting and analysing Collusiveness in the websites. Extracted and grouped the “Topics” from the HTML files using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) modelling, and also improving the overall accuracy score.

Draw it
Kulendu K Chakraborty
Side project, 2020

DrawIt is a screen on air that allows you to write/draw anything while just waving your fingers over the screen.

Movie Time
Kulendu K Chakraborty
Side project, 2021

Movie-time is a movie review recommendation system that can say whether the review of the movie you wanted to see is positive or negative. It can basically help you to dicide whether the movie you wanted to watch is good enough to watch or not. Moreover it can save your time by just seeing the review, rather than the primitive method to watch the enitre movie and say is it good or bad.
