About Me

Research Intern – Generative AI (Ragamala Imagery)

• Spearheaded the fine-tuning of Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL 1.0) using LoRA and QLoRA adapters to generate culturally grounded Ragamala paintings, achieving a 31% improvement in stylistic coherence over base models.
• Conducted few-shot and multi-shot RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) training workflows to enhance visual-textual alignment for Indian classical musical emotions and iconographic elements.
• Benchmarked generated imagery against state-of-the-art models (e.g., DALL·E 3, MidJourney v6, Kandinsky 3.0) using FID, CLIPScore, and human evaluation, demonstrating a 24% higher perceptual relevance to traditional Ragamala artworks.
• Deployed and scaled training pipelines on AWS EC2 (g5.2xlarge) and SageMaker for efficient fine-tuning, reducing training time by 18% through optimized data loading and mixed-precision training.
• Curated a domain-specific dataset of ~2,000 annotated Ragamala artworks with associated poetic metadata, enabling effective cross-modal learning for aesthetic and symbolic fidelity.
• Implemented advanced prompt engineering and classifier-free guidance techniques to steer generation toward semantically rich and context-sensitive outputs.
• Collaborated with a multidisciplinary team of digital humanities scholars and AI researchers, ensuring cultural interpretability and ethical alignment in AI-generated artworks.
