Ankit Goyal

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Princeton University. I am a member of Princeton Vision and Learning Lab, advised by Prof. Jia Deng. I completed my Masters in CSE from University of Michigan and Bachelors in EE from IIT Kanpur. Previously, I have interned at Microsoft Research India with Prateek Jain in Summer 2016 and with Shrikanth Narayanan and Tanaya Guha at USC in Summer 2015.

Research

I am interested in understanding various aspects of intelligence, especially reasoning and common sense. In particular, I want to develop computation models for various reasoning skills that humans possess.

	Think Visually: Question Answering through Virtual Imagery Ankit Goyal, Jian Wang, Jia Deng ACL, 2018 We study geometric reasoning in the context of question-answering. We introduce Dynamic Spatial Memory Network (DSMN), a deep network architecture designed for answering questions that admit latent visual representations.
	ProtoNN: Compressed and Accurate kNN for Resource-scarce Devices Chirag Gupta, Arun Sai Suggala, Ankit Goyal, Harsha Vardhan Simhadri, Bhargavi Paranjape, Ashish Kumar, Saurabh Goyal, Raghavendra Udupa, Manik Varma, Prateek Jain ICML, 2017 We propose ProtoNN, a novel algorithm that addresses the problem of real-time and accurate prediction on resource-scarce devices. ProtoNN is inspired by k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) but has several orders lower storage and prediction complexity.
	A Multimodal Mixture-Of-Experts Model for Dynamic Emotion Prediction in Movies Ankit Goyal, Naveen Kumar, Tanaya Guha, Shrikanth S. Narayanan ICASSP, 2016 We address the problem of continuous emotion prediction in movies from multimodal cues. We propose a Mixture of Experts (MoE)-based fusion model that dynamically combines information from the audio and video modalities for predicting the emotion evoked in movies.
	Object Matching Using Speeded Up Robust Features Nishchal Kumar Verma, Ankit Goyal, A Harsha Vardhan, Rahul Kumar Sevakula, Al Salour IES, 2016 We propose a robust algorithm which is capable of detecting all the instances of a particular object in a scene image using Speeded Up Robust Features.
	Template Matching for Inventory Management using Fuzzy Color Histogram and Spatial Filters Nishchal K Verma, Ankit Goyal, Anadi Chaman, Rahul K Sevakula, Al Salour ICIEA, 2015 We propose a methodology for object counting using color histogram based segmentation and spatial filters.
