* Worked on DPO(Direct Preference Optimization) in LLMs for solving neutrality, safety and biasness in responses. Successfully trained a 7B parameter model using DPO and LoRA technique * Optimized LLM training using ZeRO Stage 2/3, reducing training time significantly upto 4x on distributed machine * Improved voice-cloning in Text-to-speech(TTS) models for indian languages and built a voice assistant model for a chatbot * Developed a real-time multilingual live stream converter (5 Indian languages) with synchronized lip-sync with a 10-minute lag along with voice cloning (dubbing of video and audio) * Voice Acivity Detection (VAD) Implemented a 1d cnn for VAD with an optimal decoding strategy * Ranker Algorithm (maps) Implemented an xgboost ranker algorithm for the search recommendations in Ola Maps * Built a Real Time Voice Command Detection bot to identify commands to operate the scooter os
