Summary
Utkarsh Tyagi is a research engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience bridging academic research and production ML systems across multimodal learning, speech, NLP, and vision. He specializes in video representation learning and long-form video understanding, and has deep expertise in low-resource settings using self-supervised methods and synthetic augmentation. His work is published at top venues (ICLR, ICCV, ACL, EMNLP, InterSpeech, SIGIR) and was developed under advisors like Prof. Dinesh Manocha, reflecting strong research rigor. In industry he’s shipped ML and software at Scale AI and Atlassian and optimized GenAI inference for Samsung Advanced Computing Labs, demonstrating an ability to move models from prototype to resource-constrained deployment. A proficient C/C++, Python, and JavaScript programmer with an MS from University of Maryland and roots at DTU, he blends hands-on engineering with research instincts to tackle practical multimodal challenges. Notably, he focuses on pragmatic low-data solutions—making high-impact models work where labeled data or compute are limited.
