I train models at the intersection of vision and language and I write about it too.
π©» Medical Image Captioning β Frozen ViT-Base β projection MLP β Phi-2 (2.7B) with LoRA, trained in 5.5 hours on one RTX 5090. Evaluated on 500 ROCOv2 images:
| BLEU-1 | BLEU-2 | BLEU-3 | BLEU-4 | METEOR | ROUGE-L | CIDEr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1362 | 0.0733 | 0.0361 | 0.0187 | 0.0636 | 0.1638 | 0.1045 |
Beats DS@BioMed on every metric, edges Kaprov on METEOR, trails CS_Morgan. Written up for Springer LNCS as an efficiency result: one consumer GPU instead of a cluster. Also documents a mode-collapse failure mode, caught with a zeros-gap test that checks whether the model is really using the image.
π§ Failure Direction β Speech enhancement fails two opposite ways: deletes the words, or leaves the noise. I built a reference-free index that tells the two apart and now use it to predict, from the noisy input alone, which failure a model will hit even on unseen noise. Currently at the go/no-go gate before the prediction stage.
π§ GiWaLM β 125M-parameter language model, pretrained from scratch on ~1B tokens with a custom 32K BPE tokenizer.
Ex-AI Intern, Wipro β Data Analytics & AI team, working across the GCP stack: Vertex AI, BigQuery, and scalable ML pipelines. Picked up Time Series, RAG, and LLMOps along the way, plus a stack of Anthropic Claude certifications (Claude Code 101, MCP, Agent Skills, Subagents).
