Abhinav Shrivastava

A Computer-Vision Hacker, aspiring Roboticist and Masters student in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics @ RI, CMU.

I am a second year Master's student in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I am working under the supervision of Prof. Alexei (Alyosha) Efros, Prof. Martial Hebert and Prof. Abhinav Gupta. My collaborators at CMU include Saurabh Singh and Dr. Tomasz Malisiewicz.

Before coming to CMU, I did Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) (undergrad) in Computer Science and Engineering from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), India. My B.Tech. thesis was on A Hypermedia-development Tool for Movie-based Comic-strip Rendering, under the supervision of Prof. Sanjay Goel. Many other projects that I enjoyed working on during my undergrad can be found under Projects.

Research Interests

Currently, I am working on Image Understanding, Object Recognition and Computer Graphics, and large-scale Machine Learning techniques applied to such problems.

I enjoy working on problems relating to Artificial Intelligence; more specifically pertaining to Computer Vision, applied Machine Learning, Robotics and their intersection with Computer Graphics. I want to equip robots with visual perception abilities which can enable them to understand, percieve and respond to their surroundings in a better way. Philosophizing intelligence attributed to vision also (deeply) interests me!
