👋🏼 Hello there, I am Malay Joshi. I am a Computer Vision and NLP practitioner, currently working as an AI Engineer at Wow Internet Labz, Bangalore, India, on different stages of development of GenAI-based (vision and text) products for some of the most prominent enterprises around the globe.

In 2023, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from AKGEC, Uttar Pradesh. My thesis project on “DRISHTI: Visual Navigation Assistant for Visually Impaired” was advised by Prof. Suvarna Mujumdar and Prof. Himanshu Tripathi and supported by FabLab, AKGEC Campus.

During the summer of 2022, I had a wonderful time being part of Google Summer of Code and working with Andrés Becerra Sandoval, Valerio Arnaboldi and Magdalena Zarowiecki to contribute to BioNLP-based open-source project at EMBL-EBI, United Kingdom. My other stints include the opportunity to intern at DESIDOC-DRDO (with Dr. Mohd Yousuf Ansari), Dubverse (with Varshul Gupta), Wow Labz (with Amit Singh and Varun Gyanchandani) and Erevna(with Prabhanshu Chauhan).

Research Interest

My current research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing (Traditional techniques, Transformers, LLMs). I always love to see technology from the lens of feasibility and impact while being used as a system by the target user base within the society. My goal is to continue exploring knowledge of technology in-depth and use it to develop efficient, economical and personalized visual and textual information processing and synthesis solutions that could assist and entertain society.

I am currently looking for opportunities to pursue research and development in a similar field with applications open to enterprise-level conversational systems, marketing campaigns content generators, sales intelligence solutions, and enterprise-level productivity tools.
