Atharva Anand Joshi

Hi everyone! I am Atharva Anand Joshi, graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University. I am pursuing master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering with concentration in AI/ML Systems. I am intrigued by the application of machine learning algorithms in audio, finance and marketing use cases. My research interests include speech processing, deep learning and representation learning. Currently, I am a collaborator at the WAVLab under the guidance of Professor Shinji Watanabe.

At Hewlett-Packard - Poly, I explored DL-based algorithms for Noise Suppression. The pipeline I developed over the summer removes both stationary and impulsive background noises directly on the headset in real-time. We also introduced a scalable deployment pipeline that would lead to faster and cost-effective integration into upcoming products.

I completed my B.E in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani in July, 2022. During my undergrad, I worked on research projects under the guidance of Professor Syed Mohammad Zafaruddin (SM Research Group) and Professor Ananthakrishna Chintanpalli.

Before joining CMU, I worked as an Analyst at American Express, AI Labs . Here, I explored modelling approaches involving a blend of Tabular deep learning with Tree-based algorithms for Credit Default Prediction - What is the probability of a given customer failing to repay their outstanding debt in near future? This helps in setting the credit line and making other such credit-related decisions.

During my internship at AmEx, I developed a template-based framework that allows users to seamlessly create and deploy their end-to-end Self Learning pipelines for Sequence Models. I have also interned at Adobe Research, India with mentors Dr Atanu Sinha and Dr Sunav Choudhary. Here, we created concise user representations which can be projected onto edge server, providing faster marketing services.

Feel free to reach out for research collaboration, academic guidance (if you are an undergraduate student from BITS) or even just for a chat! For GRE and TOEFL preparation guidance, especially under time contraints do check out this repository.

I have been an avid practitioner and performer of Hindustani Classical Vocal Music for the past fourteen years.
Here's a short article on Raga that I had written in my sophomore year (2020). Would love to hear your thoughts!

Following is my musical journey during college and beyond:
