Research

I'm interested in computer vision, deep learning and generative AI. Some papers are highlighted.

Rejection Sampling IMLE: Designing Priors for Better Few-Shot Image Synthesis
Chirag Vashist, Shichong Peng, Ke Li
ECCV, 2024
project page / arXiv / video / code

We identity an issue with the current IMLE-based methods and propose a novel approach to address it. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on few-shot image generation tasks.

A generic framework for deep incremental cancelable template generation

Neurocomputing
journal

We address the security and privacy concerns of biometric templates generated via deep networks. We propose a cancelable biometric authentication approach. This is the first work in which deep cancelable templates are generated incrementally to the best of our knowledge.

IHashNet: Iris Hashing Network based on efficient multi-index hashing
Avantika Singh, Pratyush Gaurav, Chirag Vashist, Aditya Nigam
IJCB, 2020
paper

We propose an iris indexing scheme using real-valued deep iris features binarized to iris bar codes (IBC) compatible with the indexing structure. For indexing the iris dataset, we have proposed a loss that can transform the binary feature into an improved feature compatible with the Multi-Index Hashing scheme.
