<p>I am a Final Year Integrated Dual Degree(B.Tech and M.Tech) student majoring Computer Science and Engineering student at <a href="http://iitbhu.ac.in/">IIT(BHU), Varanasi</a> supervised by <a href="http://www.iitbhu.ac.in/cse/index.php/people/faculty/30.html">Prof.K.K.Shukla</a>. My major areas of interest are Machine Learning, NLP and Computer Vision using Deep Learning. I have also been exploring lately Meta-Learning architectures such as Neural Turing Machines, Neural Programmer Interpreters. I have also been actively interested in Automatic Machine Learning and delivered a talk for seminar course. <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/automatic-machine-learning-himadri-mishra?trk=prof-post">Slides Available here</a>.
