This week, we continue to celebrate #WomeninResearch. Watch Senior Scientist Dr. Rekha Singhal, Rekha singhal, talk about personal traits that have guided her to #research, and her fulfilling career at #TCSResearch. #inventingforimpact #womeninscience

At #NeurIPS2020, researchers from #TCSResearch presented MetaNETs, an #AI-accelerated framework for designing artificial materials called #photonic #metamaterials which expedites the design and discovery of novel photonic devices - bit.ly/3aw3MfV

Large knowledge bases need to be used along with text corpora to train word embeddings as in this paper; nice work folks!

SIGKDD India Chapter (iKDD) is continuing the 'Data Science in India' event at KDD'21. Opportunity to know about Data Science ecosystem in India & connect with leaders from industry & academia. More at: bit.ly/3ryH7GI Register for free at: forms.gle/QKfMVU2wwZtMwg…

Thanks SIGKDD 2025 for continuing hosting this event since 2015 with the KDD Conference. iKDD Balaraman Ravindran Manish Gupta Gautam Shroff Raj Sharma

Chap 11 of this excellent book by ⁦⁦Kenneth Stanley⁩ should be required reading for all reviewers in AI conferences; and the whole book for anyone having to ‘manage’ research (like myself!). scholar.google.co.in/citations?view…

Dr. Gautam Shroff, TCS Fellow, SVP & Head, TCS Research, Tata Consultancy Services recently shared valuable insights in his Keynote Session ‘Cutting Edge of AI from India for the World' at the #NASSCOMXperienceAI Virtual Summit 2021. Watch full video here bit.ly/3ig8stV Gautam Shroff nasscom

Key points: from the Stanford report - India has %>avg AI talent but <<avg publications. Reasoning remains a challenge for ML/DL in spite of GPT3, Copilot etc. - my bet is on neurosymbolic learning : but with distribution representations as ‘symbols’

Charms of a catchy title! I’ve been guilty of the same … see this from a decade ago: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWS…

Nice work! Consistent gains on many standard environments. Here’s the archive version: arxiv.org/pdf/2004.09846…

40 years ago, this month, TCS Research was born. We salute the visionary who started the Software Research Lab in Tata Consultancy Services - Prof. Kesav Vithal Nori. Click to hear Professor Nori speak about how it all began - bit.ly/3EkVj #TCSResearch #Research #TCS #40andforward

Continual learning is usually motivated by trying to mimic plasticity/stability in brains. Here we present a practical motivation in an industry-inspired setting where task dimensions also vary. #inventingforimpact TCS Research Yann LeCun

Kudos to my collaborators especially students and faculty at BITS Goa: three papers at the upcoming IJCLR conference including this one. We are looking for pre-doc/post-doc applicants in Neurosymbolic reasoning. TCS Research SAiDL

I enjoyed this conversation with Kunal from Analytics Vidhya with his well informed questions.

Turned 60 and 'retired' from TCS Research. But not 'tired': joined IIIT Delhi as a professor. Some research to continue - analogy (e.g. arcprize.org), finance (e.g. numer.ai). Plus working on an ed-tech initiative, and hope to post more often too.

Nice article in the Indian Express where I have also shared some thoughts. The larger message to the research community especially in India is perhaps that we should not assume that the 'big labs' cannot be bested with brains from wherever!

Further to Gary Marcus and other who rightly point out that #DeepSeek is 'just' more efficient, not 'better', one wonders if having lots of cheap agents debating can give 'better' results: enough for researchers to do now, even without the big $$!
