About Me:


नमस्कार! I am Achyut Mani Tripathi (अच्युत मणि त्रिपाठी), originally from Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (IIT-Dh) in Karnataka, India. I earned my Ph.D. in 2021 from the Computer Science & Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-Guwahati) in Assam, India.
My Research Interests Include:
Deep Learning for Environmental Sound Classification, Lightweight Large Acoustic Models, Adversarial Attacks, Knowledge Distillation, Dataset Condensation, Multimodal Learning Tasks: Audio-Visual Event Localization (AVEL), Audio-Visual Segmentation (AVS), Audio-Visual Scene Classification (AVSC), Audio-Visual Question Answering (AVQA), Audio Question Answering (AQA), Audio-Visual Source Localization (AVSL), Audio-Visual Compositional Reasoning (AVCR), Anomaly Detection, and Predictive Maintenance.

New Highlights and Announcements:


    (Open Positions) I have vacancies available for PhD candidates and I'm in search of motivated BTech/MTech students who possess strong analytical skills, a keen interest in research, and a commendable academic background. Please share your updated resume if you want to pursue a Ph.D., MTP, or BTP under my supervision. Additionally, I encourage students from IIT Dh with a CPI exceeding 8.0 to consider joining my team for independent projects in research or development. I seek individuals interested in substantial projects, excluding mini-projects, short-term commitments, or online internships.
