Saksham Suri

I am a third year Ph.D student in the department of Computer Science at University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, advised by Dr. Abhinav Shrivastava. My research lies in the field of computer vision and machine learning.

I completed my undergrad at IIIT Delhi (2015 - 2019) majoring in Computer Science and Engineering where I worked at IAB Lab and Precog. During the summer of 2018 I got the chance to intern at MCL at USC Viterbi Shool of Engineering. Post my graduation, I went for a short internship at IBM Research.

In the past, I have been fortunate to have worked with Rama Chellappa, Mayank Vatsa, Richa Singh, Ponnurangam Kumaraguru, C. -C. Jay Kuo, Anush Sankaran and many other super-talented people!

Research

I am interested in solving problems using less supervision. To this end my current research focuses on sparsely annotated object detection where images have missing object annotations.

	Sparsely Annotated Object Detection: A Region-based Semi-supervised Approach Saketh Rambhatla, Saksham Suri, Rama Chellappa, Abhinav Shrivastava Under Review arXiv Propose to model sparsely annotated object detection as a semi-supervised object detection problem at a region level.
	Towards Discovery and Attribution of Open-world GAN Generated Images Sharath Girish, Saksham Suri, Saketh Rambhatla, Abhinav Shrivastava IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) , 2021 Project Page \| Paper \| arXiv Proposed an iterative algorithm for discovering images generated from GANs in an open world setup. Also show applications in an online never ending discovery.
	Learned Spatial Representations for Few-shot Talking-Head Synthesis Moustafa Meshry, Saksham Suri, Larry S. Davis Abhinav Shrivastava IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) , 2021 Project Page \| Paper \| arXiv We propose a novel framework which disentangles spatial and style information for image synthesis. A latent spatial layout for the target image is generated, which is used to produce per-pixel style modulation parameters for the final synthesis..
