I am a second year Master’s student in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta. I am pursuing my master’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Nilanjan Ray. Currently, I am working on efficient black-box approximation to improve performance of black-box OCR engines. Generally, I am interested in accelerating neural network training using sample selection, calibration in neural networks and Data-Centric AI.

Previously, I worked as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Capillary Technologies. As part of the Instore Vision team at Capillary, I have worked on Computer Vision products for extracting useful insights about customers in an offline store, under the guidance of Subrat Panda and Sumandeep Banerjee. Before that, I was a Member Technical Staff at Stride.ai where I worked on Document Image processing techniques to extract metadata from PDF documents, and Optical Character Recognition for scanned documents, supervised by Pratheek Mahishi.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

Phys. Rev., May 1935

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
