Priyadarshini Kumari
I work at Apple, focusing on the intersection of machine learning and health.
Previously at Sony AI, I contributed to a range of projects, from developing data-efficient machine learning techniques for graph neural networks to creating multimodal perception models integrating text, and olfactory inputs. My work spanned applications in biomedical research, olfaction, and gastronomy.
I received my Ph.D. from IIT Bombay, advised by Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri and Prof. Siddhartha Chaudhuri. My thesis was on Label-Efficient Distance Metric Learning. Before that, I completed my master’s also from IIT Bombay where I developed multimodal rendering techniques that combined haptic, visual, and auditory feedback to make 3D models of heritage sites accessible to the visually impaired.
Here is my CV

- Link prediction for hypothesis generation: an active curriculum learning infused temporal graph-based approachIn Artificial Intelligence Review , 2024
We present THiGER-A, a solution aimed at addressing the hypothesis-generation problem. This method utilizes a temporal graph-based node-pair embedding and incorporates an active-curriculum training approach to precisely capture the dynamic evolution of discoveries over time.

- Optimizing Learning Across Multimodal Transfer Features for Modeling Olfactory PerceptionIn International Workshop on Multimodal Learning at SIGKDD , 2023
We introduce a novel multilabel and multimodal transfer learning technique for modeling olfactory perception. Our approach aims to tackle the challenges of data scarcity and label skewness in the olfactory domain.
- PerceptNet: Learning perceptual similarity of haptic textures in presence of unorderable tripletsIn IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC) , 2019
We propose a deep metric learning approach that demonstrates the utility of ambiguous triplets for effectively modeling human perception.
