8	Ganesh Bagler	Artificial Intelligence Driven Computational Gastronomy Framework	Cooking forms the core of our cultural identity other than being the basis of nutrition and health. The increasing availability of culinary data and the advent of computational methods for their scrutiny are dramatically changing the artistic outlook towards gastronomy. Starting with a seemingly simple question, ‘Why do we eat what we eat?’, data-driven research conducted in our lab has led to interesting explorations of traditional recipes, their flavor composition, and health associations. Our investigations have revealed ‘culinary fingerprints’ of regional cuisines across the world. Application of data-driven strategies for investigating the gastronomic data has opened up exciting avenues, giving rise to an all-new field of ‘computational gastronomy’. This emerging interdisciplinary science asks questions of culinary origin to seek their answers via the compilation of culinary data and their analysis using methods of complex systems, statistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Along with complementary experimental studies, these endeavors have the potential to transform the food landscape by effectively leveraging data-driven food innovations for better health and nutrition. Complex Systems Laboratory: https://cosylab.iiitd.edu.in Computational Gastronomy is a data science which blends food with data and the power of artificial intelligence. We have an ambitious goal of creating a “Computational Gastronomy Framework” around the following themes and expertise. THEMATIC AREAS/EXPERTISE: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, API Development, Database/Webserver Development, Natural Language Processing, Android/iOS App Development, Novel Recipes Generation, Ayurveda Informatics, Taste/Odor Prediction, Image Processing, Food Pairing Analysis, Carbon/Water Footprinting Calculations, Food Allergens, Food & Music, and Computational Creativity.	2-3 Months
9	Koteswar Rao Jerripothula	Saliency Detection in Multi-object Images	There are several studies on saliency detection in single-object images, but there is very limited work done on multi-object images. This project involves developing a relevant dataset and an appropriate algorithm for the same.	2 Months
10	Koteswar Rao Jerripothula	Object Detection in Sculptural Arts	Our temples are filled with sculptures, both inside and outside. If they can be automatically identified, a lot of information can be retrieved from internet, helping in educating about our culture. This project involves developing a relevant dataset and an algorithm for the same.	2 Months
11	Mrinmoy Chakrabarty	Brain correlates of affective states in autism	Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents with a range of issues, e.g. decreased social-emotional reciprocity and non-verbal communication in social interactions; stereotyped repetitive movements, narrow spectrum of interests of unusual intensity and focus as well as sensory dysregulation (hyper/hyposensitivity to sensory inputs), which together manifest as different degrees of clinical severity. A school of thought proposes that the precipitation of one or more of these manifestations could be linked with internal affective/emotional states of the individuals with ASD and there is recent evidence in support of this thought (Chakrabarty M., et. al. European Journal of Neuroscience 2021). In this backdrop the incompletely understood brain bases of these affective states merit further investigation, which this internship seeks to address to a measurable extent.	2 Months
12	Piyus Kedia	Address sanitizers for the Linux Kernel	The goal of this project is to measure the overheads of the address sanitizers for the Linux kernel.	2 Months
13	Ranjitha Prasad	Bayesian Methods for Explainable AI	In this project, students will explore methods for post-hoc explainable AI for image and tabular datasets.	2 Months
14	Saket Anand	Autonomous Last Mile Vehicle	Working towards an autonomous campus shuttle. The tasks involved will require development and testing of various different modules of the autonomous driving solution. This would include development and testing of: 1. Perception algorithms (using cameras and LIDARs) 2. Planning and Control algorithms (using simulation as well as real vehicular platforms) 3. Integrated system (Perception and Planning combined).	2-3 Months
15	Smriti Singh	Caste, Gender and Urban Space	The project would require extensive referencing work, collecting articles, archives, making a bibliography and putting together synopsis of papers.	2 Months
16	Sneha Chaubey	Sieve methods in number theory	Sieve method originates from an algorithm for finding all primes. The earliest known Sieve method is the Sieve of Eratosthenes which utilizes the fact that a natural number is prime if and only if it is not divisible by any prime smaller than itself. Modern Sieve methods originated with Brun around 1920. He used a new Sieve to obtain several important number-theoretic results, notably an estimate of the density of twin primes. This project involves reading and understanding these methods and applying them in different number-theoretic problems.	2 Months

The algorithms and pipelines will be tested in the real world setting, outcomes of this project will be research publications and real world deployment.	2 Months
24	Vinayak Abrol	(1) Developing novel counter measures for spoofing attacks in speaker verification (SV) system. (2) Bandwidth extension (BWE) in deep acoustic models	(1) The primary aim is to develop robust SV systems by highlighting the vulnerability of audio models. Recently, DNNs have been shown to be extremely brittle under adversarial and malicious attacks using generative models for speech synthesis. Thus, our goal is to develop novel counter measures against such attacks on SV systems, such that a robust front-end detection system can be deployed to compliment the back-end SV system. (2) The aim of BWE is to estimate the missing high frequency information i.e., extend the bandwidth of the signal. It is difficult to simultaneously model narrow-band and wide-band speech. Further there are computational constraints which limits the sampling rate for low latency applications. This project will explore novel approaches for BWE to improve the performance of deep acoustic models.	2 Months
25	Sanjit Kaul & Saket Anand	Networked Autonomous Vehicles	Interns will work on creating an indoor testbed using cameras and Jetson bots. This will require an ability to program with python, work with off-the-shelf hardware like the Jetson bot and NVIDIA Jetson GPUs, WiFi access points and USB WiFi, off-the-shelf cameras, and familiarity with openCV. In addition, interns with exposure to deep learning and preferably even reinforcement learning, will work on learning data driven policies to make the Jetson bots autonomous. The bots will talk to cameras and with each other over WiFi.	3 – 6 Months. Extensions are possible.

29	Mukulika Maity	Measurement Study of Response Times of Apps in India	In this project, we quantify the Quality of Experience of using the android apps using response time i.e., the time needed to reflect UI changes corresponding to a user’s action. This can be, for example, the time needed to reflect an item has been added to the cart for Add product to cart action on Amazon app. In this work, we design a tool called EvalApp which uses automation to record the response times of a total of 30 actions for 12 apps popular in India. We then crowdsource this desktop app to a total of 60 users working from home from across north and central India and perform a causal analysis of the factors that affect the response times of actions.	3 Months
30	Mukulika Maity	Youtube Video Streaming over Google’s QUIC	One of the most commonly used transport protocols, developed by Google, QUIC, adapts to such failures by falling back to TCP. In this work, we investigate the fallback behavior of QUIC on Youtube video streaming. In total, we collect over 2600 streaming hours of data over various bandwidth patterns, from 5 different geographical locations and various video genres. To our surprise, we observe that the legacy setup (TCP) either outperforms or performs the same as the QUIC-enabled browser for more than 60% of cases. We are in process of designing solutions to improve QUIC’s performance.	3 Months
