Bio
I’m Praj, I work as an AI Researcher at Meta AI in the Generative AI team working on building foundational models, next generation of LLaMA models. I am a core contributor of LLaMA 3 LLaMA 2, LLaMA 2 Long, powering Meta’s flagship AI assistant meta.ai. Previously I worked as an AI Resident within Reality Labs and Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) working on Offline Reinforcement Learning. My google scholar can be found here.
Prior to Meta, I was a CS graduate student at the University of Texas Dallas where I worked on commonsense reasoning under the supervision of Prof. Vincent Ng. My thesis is about improving commonsense reasoning through adversarial learning.

Side projects
fluence
Winner of Pytorch Global Hackathon 2020. A Pytorch deep learning library focussed on providing support for compute efficient and debiasing algorithms in transformer based model for NLP research. Contains implementation of Adaptive Attention, Sparsity, Layerdrop, Debiasing, Pruning utilities etc.
Autonomous Object Detection
This project focussed on 2D object detection with Pytorch. User can leverage models provided from `torchvision` and use datasets provided in this project (`idd`, `cityscapes`, `bdd`) for training and evaluation of models. Additionally, support for incremental learning was added.
