I graduated from BITS Goa and am deeply passionate about all research which is highly deployable. I wish to find out how to make machines more capable of coherent cognition, as contemporary LLMs are often brittle in domain and compositional generalization. I have worked on projects ranging from Speech and Audio processing to regularization techniques for data with high missingness. I am particularly enthusiastic about delving into topics related to human interactions with LLMs. My first project will involve developing evaluation metrics for the Copilot debugger. In addition to my professional interests, I have recently taken up regular gymming and I love to watch\/read anime\/manga. I look forward to working with the team, and I appreciate your warm welcome and support.\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold\">Avik Dutta<\/h4>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-4-24\" >\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1059066 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"a man wearing a suit and tie\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/avik.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-20-24\" >\n\t\t<p class=\"xmsonormal\">I was born and brought up in a town named Jamshedpur, in the state of Jharkhand, India. I completed my schooling in the same town, after which I shifted to Kharagpur, West Bengal, to pursue my undergraduate degree in IIT Kharagpur. Being always inclined towards AI and its growth in recent years, I decided to build my career in AI\/ML, most specifically in the background of NLP and LLMs. I completed a minor in Computer Science and a micro specialization in Artificial Intelligence, along with my major degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I have been part of many research-based projects and the two best things to write home about are the papers which I co-authored with a few PhD students from my Institute. Aside from ML, I was also actively involved in product development in the form of building android games. My two famous games which made into the play store are \u201cRicksy Run\u201d and \u201cBubble Meow\u2019t\u201d. Do take some time out to try these games and let me know your feedback. I was also in works with developing a game where you can make the character move and jump using sounds made by the user, eg. a simple clap of hands. I really enjoy brainstorming new ideas, and most importantly bringing those ideas to reality, and that is what makes PROSE the best environment for me to grow. Aside from academics, I love to read crime thrillers and sci-fi novels. I also love watching Anime and American sitcoms, my favorite being \u201cThe Office US\u201d and \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d, both of which I have watched over 20 times. I am quite a nature lover and like to go on treks and long walks amidst forests and hills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"xmsonormal\">\t<\/div>\n\t<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold\">Krishna Kariya<\/h4>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-4-24\" >\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1059117 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-300x225.png\" alt=\"a woman sitting on top of a mountain\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-240x180.png 240w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-20-24\" >\n\t\tI am Krishna Kariya.

I have worked on projects ranging from Speech and Audio processing to regularization techniques for data with high missingness. I am particularly enthusiastic about delving into topics related to human interactions with LLMs. My first project will involve developing evaluation metrics for the Copilot debugger.

I completed my schooling in the same town, after which I shifted to Kharagpur, West Bengal, to pursue my undergraduate degree in IIT Kharagpur. Being always inclined towards AI and its growth in recent years, I decided to build my career in AI\/ML, most specifically in the background of NLP and LLMs. I completed a minor in Computer Science and a micro specialization in Artificial Intelligence, along with my major degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I have been part of many research-based projects and the two best things to write home about are the papers which I co-authored with a few PhD students from my Institute. Aside from ML, I was also actively involved in product development in the form of building android games. My two famous games which made into the play store are \u201cRicksy Run\u201d and \u201cBubble Meow\u2019t\u201d. Do take some time out to try these games and let me know your feedback. I was also in works with developing a game where you can make the character move and jump using sounds made by the user, eg. a simple clap of hands. I really enjoy brainstorming new ideas, and most importantly bringing those ideas to reality, and that is what makes PROSE the best environment for me to grow. Aside from academics, I love to read crime thrillers and sci-fi novels. I also love watching Anime and American sitcoms, my favorite being \u201cThe Office US\u201d and \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d, both of which I have watched over 20 times. I am quite a nature lover and like to go on treks and long walks amidst forests and hills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"xmsonormal\">\t<\/div>\n\t<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 style=\"font-weight: bold\">Krishna Kariya<\/h4>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-grid \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ms-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-4-24\" >\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1059117 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-300x225.png\" alt=\"a woman sitting on top of a mountain\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna-240x180.png 240w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Krishna.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div  class=\"m-col-20-24\" >\n\t\tI am Krishna Kariya.

Please send your application to prose-jobs@microsoft.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>99% of people who own computers do not know how to program, and even experts often struggle to code accurately. Through program synthesis, a new frontier in AI, we can help everyone generate programs that accomplish their tasks faster and more accurately, from users who have never written a line of code to professional developers. Advances in symbolic and neural methods, such as large language models, are accelerating the pace at which we can push the state-of-the-art in this area.<\/p>\n<p>The PROSE team develops state\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0art program synthesis systems and ships these innovations through\u00a0flagship\u00a0Microsoft products\u00a0like Excel, Visual Studio, PowerQuery, PowerShell, and SQL Server Management Studio.\u00a0Our work is characterized by building on fundamental insights in both logical reasoning and machine learning and combining them in unique ways to synthesize programs (or solutions to tasks that can be framed as programs). This approach has been recognized with regular\u00a0papers at\u00a0top-tier conferences in the AI, machine learning, programming languages, and software engineering communities;\u00a0a few of them won\u00a0best paper\u00a0and test-of-time awards.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0team\u00a0provides a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and\u00a0real-world impact, solving customer problems\u00a0at a global scale.
