Hello! કેમ છો? I am Het Shah, a Computer Science Undergraduate from Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus. I am currently working as a Research Fellow at the PROSE team at Microsoft Research where I am currently developing a new skill for migrating code from older .NET versions to newer .NET version. The work is done in collaboration with the Copilot X team and Migration team at Microsoft Research. Prior to joining as a RF I spent a year as a Research Intern at Microsoft Research India where I was advised by Dr. Navin Goyal. Previously, I completed my undergraduate thesis at Visual Computing Lab(VCL) at IISc Bangalore, where I was advised by Prof. Anirban Chakraborty and Gaurav Kumar Nayak on “Incremental Learning for Animal Pose Estimation”.

I was an Undergraduate Student Researcher at Anuradha and Prashanth Palakurthi Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research (APPCAIR) Lab at my University where I worked on “Iterative Knowledge Distillation” and “Reasoning abilities of Transformer networks”. I have also taught various courses related to Python and Deep Learning (you can find the list here).

My current research interests are

  • how humans brain can motivate neural network models specifically how humans reason and how can we create models to solve reasoning tasks with Neural Networks;
  • how to effectively represent data (nerually or neuro-symbolically) to help us in inducing reasoning in the models
