My name is Bhavul. I'm an Applied ML Research Engineer currently working for Meta AI and leading some Generative AI initiatives, training Large Language Models and Latent Diffusion Models to build innovative new products. Before GenAI, I was building foundational models to understand users for improving Reels and Video recommendations. Prior to Meta, I worked as a Research Scientist (ML Tech Lead) at Zapr driving company's Applied NLP Research efforts, and also their Recommendation System projects.
I like to engage in AI research independently too. I'm a core researcher with Manifold RG and I'm also experimenting with a few ideas in the LLM space. Feel free to reach out for collaboration. I also enjoy building products, automating things and so I try to maintain some grip on full stack knowledge. I'm an advocate for Open Source and "AI for Good", and enjoy giving talks at conferences or tech meetups.
Carpe Diem.
