Hi, I am Vyas and welcome to my page! I am currently a third year PhD student in the Machine Intelligence Lab at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. In a world where increasingly powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models are performing some of the most complex tasks with super-human ability the future is fast and exciting. However, if I may quote an age-old adage (famously borrowed later by Marvel), with great power comes great responsibility; i.e, the better our AI models, the greater the need for safe AI. Hence, with a focus mainly in the domain of natural language, my research seeks to use adversarial attacks, defence and robustness of deep learning models as a primary lens of analysis to further the field of safe AI for models deployed in high stakes environments. Do explore my publications and other related projects in the Research section.
Beyond research, I do maintain a foot in a range of industrial projects - check the Work tab. My experiences have allowed me to apply machine learning methods to a range of sectors: Natural Language Processing (NLP) in finance; NLP forecasting in telecommunications; uncertainty methods for tabular weather data; testing for a AI robotics' company and finally I have co-founded a digitial healthcare start-up.
