Aniket Agarwal

I am an MSR student at CMU, advised by Prof Laszlo A. Jeni and Prof Srinivasa Narasimhan. My primary research interest is in the domain of 4D tracking, neural rendering and generative modelling.

Previously, I was a Data & Applied Scientist in the MSAI team at Microsoft working on Learning to Rank systems especially in the context of Outlook and Teams Search Relevance. I also graduated from IIT Roorkee with a major in Applied Mathematics.

I've had the pleasure of working with Prof Christian Desrosiers and Prof Jose Dolz from ETS Montreal, on the topic of semi-supervised segmentation. I've also worked with Prof Mohamed Elhoseiny from KAUST, tackling the problem of long-tail Visual Relationship Recognition. I have worked with Prof Angela Yao from NUS Singapore, where our problem focus was on egocentric hand action recognition.

I also worked with Prof Karthik Narsimhan on long-horizon video understanding. I am mostly interested in using Computer Vision for creating robust AI agents able to handle long-ranged dependency problems.

Research

I am interested in solving problems at the intersection of vision and graphics. Much of my research till now is on vision related problems such as Visual Relationship Recognition, 3D Hand Action Recognition, semi-supervised segmentation, etc.

Building Scalable Video Understanding Benchmarks through Sports

DMLR@ICLR, 2024
project / arXiv / code

We proposed an automated pipeline, dubbed ASAP, for creating LVU benchmarks using sports. We also propose a new benchmarks using Cricket videos, dubbed LCric, using the said pipeline.

project / pdf / supp / arXiv / code / cite

We propose new benchmarks, GQA-LT & VG8K-LT, for solving and properly targeting the problem of long-tail VRR. Additionaly, we propose RelMix and VilHub, two techniques that can be utilized on top of any VRR model to make its prediction accuracy on tail classes better.

RelTransformer: A Transformer-Based Long-Tail Visual Relationship Recognition
Jun Chen, Aniket Agarwal, Sherif Abdelkarim,

CVPR, 2022
arXiv / code / cite

Transformers have seen massive success for solving various Vision and Language related tasks. Here we propose a novel transformer based architecture for solving the long-tail VRR problem.

Visual Relationship Detection using Scene Graphs: A Survey
Aniket Agarwal*, Ayush Mangal*, Vipul*
Survey Paper

Miscellaneous

Participated in Intern IIT 2018, held at IIT Bombay. We presented a web-based ML application, LeDoc(Link).

Some of the best experiences I've had in my undergraduate life is due to Vision and Language Group(Link). The seniors and people there are some of the best and loveliest you can find in IIT Roorkee. I am highly indebted for being a part of the group.

In my free time, I love to watch TV shows and you can most definitely find me listening to music at any time of day. I love Rock and Lo-Fi pop genre and am an ardent fan of Radiohead.
