Jay Gala

I'm a final year Computer Science and Management student at NMIMS University, Mumbai. I am currently working as a research intern with Dr. Xiatian Zhu (scholar) and Sauradip Nag (website) at the CVSSP Lab, University of Surrey. I also collaborate with Dr. Sriparna Saha (website) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Patna. If you have an interesting project idea, let's get in touch:

Research

I am broadly interested in Computer Vision and Deep Learning. I have worked on medical images and remote sensing using few-shot, meta, federated learning, etc. Recently, I have shifted my focus on Generative Modeling, 3D Vision, Image and Video Synthesis/Editing.

Adaptive-Labeling for Enhancing Remote Sensing Cloud Understanding
Jay Gala, Sauradip Nag, Huichou Huang, Ruirui Liu, Xiatian Zhu
Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning Workshop, NeurIPS 2023

This work introduces a new algorithm to iteratively improve the existing noisy annotations and extract the best performance from any model via combination of Dynamic Thresholding coupled with FixMatch style optimization.
