Vedant Palit
I am a fourth year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur pursuing a BTech in Industrial & Systems Engineering and an MTech in Financial Engineering.
I take interest in machine and deep learning, particularly in the domain of natural language processing and computer vision. Recently I have been delving into the specifics of mechanistic interpretability. I also enjoy quizzing, reading sci-fi books and watching anime.
Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you want to chat with me!
