[CV]sonitsingh@TheSonitSingh @sonitsingh
I am currently working towards a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science at Macquarie University. I am supported by an international Macquarie University Research Excellence scholarship and an additional top-up scholarship from DATA61, CSIRO. I am also a casual academic in the Department of Computing at Macquarie University where I teach Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning units to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
My research interest broadly lies in Artificial Intelligence. More specifically, my research lies at the intersection of computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning. I focuses on developing models that seek to describe the content of images and answer questions about images. Currently I am working towards applying multi-modal machine learning techniques in radiology, where I focus on developing methods to harness the potential of healthcare data to develop augmented systems in order to increase productivity of radiologists, reduce healthcare cost, and reduce diagnostic errors. Other research projects towards which I am highly inclined include Image Captioning, Visual Question Answering, Visual Dialog, and Visual-Language Navigation. I am also passionate about solving problems prevalent in the society using digital technologies. My current multi-disciplinary research is in collaboration with Macquarie University, Macquarie Medical Imaging (Macquarie University Health Sciences Centre), and Data61 (CSIRO).
