Aniket Rege

WAIV Lab

PhD Student, University

of Wisconsin-Madison

I’m a Ph.D student in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison working on preference learning, computer vision, and generative models. I am fortunate to be jointly advised by Ramya Vinayak and Yong Jae Lee.

Previously, I was an masters student at the University of Washington, Seattle where I worked with the RAIVN Lab advised by Prof. Ali Farhadi and mentored by Aditya Kusupati. My MS research focused on large-scale efficient and deployable machine learning, visual representation learning, and web-scale search.

In Summer ‘22 I interned in the deep learning for autonomous vehicles team at NVIDIA Redmond on Multiview LidarNet, supervised by Dr. Nikolai Smolyanskiy and Dr. Stan Birchfield. Previously, I worked for several years as a research engineer at Samsung Research India, working on perception problems for the AI Camera, including as a founding member of Single Take Camera, the USP of the Galaxy S20 flagship smartphone.

I am also generally interested in contrastive learning, learning from minimal supervision, and model robustness to real-world distribution shifts.
