| Brief Bio: |
Dr. Vineeth N Balasubramanian is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H), and currently serves as the Head of the Department of Artificial Intelligence at IIT-H. His research interests include deep learning, machine learning, and computer vision. His research has resulted in many publications in several top conferences and journals including ICML, CVPR, NeurIPS, ICCV, AAAI, TPAMI, etc. His Ph.D. dissertation at Arizona State University on the Conformal Predictions framework was nominated for the Outstanding Ph.D. Dissertation at the Department of Computer Science. His recent awards include: Best Paper Awards at CODS-COMAD 2022, CVPR 2021 workshops on Causality in Vision and Adversarial Machine Learning; Teaching Excellence Awards at IIT-H in 2017 and 2021; Google Research Scholar Award (earlier known as Google Research Faculty award) in 2020; Outstanding Reviewer Awards at ICLR 2021, CVPR 2019, ECCV 2020.

During his Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship, Dr. Balasubramanian aims to work towards developing trustworthy machine learning models that are implicitly imbued with causal reasoning capabilities. In particular, he plans to understand and develop methods for causal generative mechanisms in real-world data, and bring together perspectives of causality and robustness into explanations of deep neural network models.
