Development of NLP models for extracting key features from unstructured notes to create real-world data(RWD) assets for clinical research at scale

June 2023

American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023

The poster represents benefit of NLP based models developed by us to extract information from unstructured Electronic Health Records to enrich structured data withhigh accuracy which helps in many downstream tasks.

Learning Skills to Navigate without a Master: A Sequential Multi-Policy Reinforcement Learning Algorithm

Oct 2022

The 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2022)

Idea is to learn multiple policies sequentially on top of the previously learnt policies in option framework setting. As part of dissertation project, contributed by considering Duckietown environment and goal based navigation task.

Landmark Detection in 3D Medical Images Using Reinforcement Learning

Nov 2020

9th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing in Emerging Markets (CCEM)

Paper presents my work during internship to compare Reinforcement Learning algorithms and Deep Learning based approaches for landmark detection tasks. The RL model is also able to learn locations of multiple landmarks simultaneously.
