Hi, I'm Aflah, a senior at IIIT-Delhi. I specialize in backend engineering, NLP, and deep learning, with a keen interest in applying NLP for social good. Currently, my research involves large language models, hate speech detection, and leveraging NLP to address various societal challenges.
Open to researcher/research engineer/backend engineer rolesWorking under Dr Krishna Gummadi to explore different aspects of LLMs. Some areas we've explored/are exploring are
Working on predicting memorization behavior in LLMs by finding which strings from the training data will be memorized. Previously worked on the Pythia model suite.
Worked on multiple projects ranging from hate speech detection to investigation finetuning settings. Currently working on benchmarking reasoning capabilities of LLMs.
Worked in the Finance, Planning & Analysis Engineering division towards revamping the central hub of the department. Also built POCs based on user feedback to improve the search and access experience on the webapp. Also recieved a return offer to join full time as an Analyst.
Worked with Matthew Watson & Chen Qian towards adding support for data augmentation layers to KerasNLP a library under the Keras/TensorFlow Ecosystem which aims to build industry oriented NLP Solutions. I also contributed to several bug fixes and other utilities such as tokenizers and transformer encoder & decoder.
