Vijay Chilaka

I am an NLP and AI specialist based in Sunnyvale, California, with a robust background in Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Holding a Master’s in Natural Language Processing from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Tirupati, Vijay combines strong academic credentials with practical experience.

Professional Experience:

• At Outlier (Dolphin), advanced NLP techniques have been applied to enhance Generative AI models, improving factual accuracy and contextual understanding. Experience includes training and evaluating multi-modal AI systems for image-to-text, audio-to-text, and video-to-text transformations.
• Work at the University of California, Santa Cruz, involved optimizing text-to-image generation by integrating reinforcement learning with few-shot language models. This included using sophisticated models for prompt enrichment, fine-tuning, and advanced semantic evaluation metrics.
• Developed a web-based platform at IIT Tirupati for personalized auto-annotations and flexible model creation. This project featured a responsive front end built with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, resulting in improved user engagement.

Notable Projects:

• Conceptualized and implemented a significant language model-based application to tackle information overload in academic research, utilizing GPT and DALL-E APIs for generating concise summaries and relevant images while incorporating ethical AI practices.
• Developed a virtual machine to transform VM code files into MIPS assembly language, achieving enhanced performance through a stack-based architecture.
• Created an interactive educational game using Unity3D and JavaScript to facilitate learning in software engineering and a mobile app for plant disease detection that achieved a 95% accuracy rate using a Convolutional Neural Network.

Skills and Interests:

• Proficient in Python, C++, JavaScript, and various AI frameworks, with extensive experience in NLP, machine learning, web development, and mobile app development.

Eager to leverage expertise in driving innovation within the AI field, with a strong interest in contributing to projects pushing AI technology's boundaries.
