About Me

সৌরভ ঘোষ   सौरभ घोष   곳소우럽   ಸೌರಭ್ ಘೋಷ್

Aspiring computer scientist. Loves to read and listen to audiobooks.

[Career Timeline] I am currently working with Samsung R&D Institute Bangalore as a Staff Engineer. I received my M.Tech degree in Computer Science from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 2017 and B.Tech degree from West Bengal University of Technology in 2014. I had the privilege of being supervised by Prof. Soumya K Ghosh during the drafting of my M.Tech thesis, and of being advised by Prof. Piyal Sarkar during the conduct of my B.Tech project. Earlier in my career, I have worked as an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Developer with Tata Consultancy Services, and have served as a Microsoft Student Partner (MSP).

[Intellectual Property Creation] I have published 15+ research papers in peer-reviewed forums, leading to 1 best paper award and 2 nominations, and have filed 8+ patents (CS completed). I have served as a reviewer and program comittee member for over 12 international conferences and journals, including ACL, NeurIPS, EMNLP, ICCV, ECCV, EACL, WACV, IEEE TCSS, NAACL-HLT, ACL-IJCNLP, ICON, CSAE, and have reviewed over 59 manuscripts, inviting "Great Review" recognitions at forums like EMNLP. I have also reviewed submissions at Samsung Best Paper Award, where I received the Best Reviewer award (On-device AI) in 2022. My current research interests include on-device AI, natural language processing, generative AI, computer vision.

[Research-to-Market] Under the leadership of Barath Raj Kandur Raja, I have played an active role in the development and successful commercialization of Mass-market Solutions, like multilingual input method (Alive Intelligence), on-device Indic language models, Flagship solutions like On-device Learning Framework, Advanced Smart Reply, as well as B2B Solutions for airline digital marketing, defence communications, in-cabin experiences, etc. I have also served as the Software Competency Catalyst and Expert Task Force Champion for KB Part.

[Mentorship and Guest Roles] I have mentored over 35 teams as part of Samsung PRISM, an industry-academia collaboration involving eminent professors and students from leading Indian institutes. I have served as a Judge at Smart India Hackathon, hosted by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, for two consecutive years. I was a member of NeurIPS 2024 Workshop Selection Committee. I founded InspirIT, the technology club of the Department of Information Technology at my alma mater, where as an active member, I have organized and presented at technical sessions. It has been a pleasure to be assoicated with InspirIT for over a decade, where I have returned as a Judge or Alumni Guest at events.

[Certifications, Awards, Miscellaneous] While the focus of my recent work has been on generative AI, large language models, and multimodal AI, I have experience in cloud computing, data analytics, web/app development, content management solutions. I enjoy writing blog posts that include both technical and works of fiction. With encouragement from friends, at times I share amateur portrait sketches on social media. I hold Samsung Software Competency (Professional) and Microsoft Certified Professional certifications. Over the years, I have received Samsung Excellence Award - Innovator (Publications), Samsung Citizen Awards (x2), TCS LIREL Honor Rolls, Star of LG, IBM TGMC Winners Award, among others.

Samsung PRISM

2021 - 2022

Samsung PRISM is an industry-academia program, offering students an opportunity to work on real-world projects, interact with Samsung's technical experts, and gain hands-on experience in core technology domains. I have mentored over 35 teams as part of Samsung PRISM and have been privileged to collaborate with around 50 professors and over 150 students from leading academic institutes in India. Some of these work-lets have resulted in publications and novel ideations.

The Monk who loves to Shoot

Ushasi Chaudhuri Sourav Ghosh

How wonderful would it be to capture the memorable stories from your dreams using a rusty black camera?! As Arko embarks on an overnight train journey with his family, he meets a remarkable man who takes him on yet another journey. In this collaboration with Ushasi Chaudhuri, explore the inner child of a monk (or the inner monk of a child?)

Control, See

Sayani Das Sourav Ghosh

Two college students visit their classroom at night. Neither is prepared for what they are about to encounter. In this short story with constructive inputs from Sayani Das, explore the horrors that are more primal than the usual ones in examination hall. This story has been illustrated with Generative AI using hand-crafted prompts to acheive inter-scene character consistency. However, you may notice that there are more reasons why this story is titled "Control, See"!
