About

Hello there! My name is Mithilesh Vaidya.

I am an AI Researcher at Descript.

I recently graduated with a Master’s in Computer Science from GeorgiaTech. Previously, I finished my dual degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) in Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay, India.

I plan to use this website as a medium for sharing my projects and other random thoughts.

I was part of Autonise AI, a small group of machine learning enthusiasts during my sophomore year.

In the summer of 2020, I interned at APT Portfolio, a high-frequency trading firm.

During my stay at IIT Bombay, I was a part of the Digital Audio Processing lab at IIT Bombay. I worked with Prof. Preeti Rao on processing children’s speech using deep learning techniques. I mainly worked on modelling speech prosody for tasks such as oral reading fluency assessment and prosodic event detection (prominence and phrase boundary).

At GeorgiaTech, I worked with Prof. Anqi Wu on switching subspace models for neural spike data.

I also served on the Editorial Board of Insight, IIT Bombay’s student media body.

In my free time, I enjoy reading books and playing tennis.
