Research Projects

Ongoing and completed research work in Graph Neural Networks and their applications

Graph Representation Learning for Fast Detector Simulation

Janurary 2024 - April 2024 • Prof. Shanmuganathan Raman

Completed
Quark and gluon jets from high-energy particle collisions produce distinct patterns in jet images, but distinguishing them remains a core challenge in particle physics. This project applies machine learning, especially GNNs, VAEs, and GVAEs, to detect patterns that differentiate quark- from gluon-origin jets.

Graph Neural Network for Weather Data Prediction

February 2023 - Present • Prof. Anirban Dasgupta

Active
Developing GNN-based models for predicting weather statistics using spatial-temporal graph representations. The project addresses challenges in streaming graph learning, including catastrophic forgetting and memory consumption optimization. We model weather stations as nodes with geographical connections to capture spatial dependencies in weather patterns.

Joint Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction

September 2021 - Present • Dr. Partha Basuchowdhuri

Active
Developing GNN-based approaches for simultaneous entity recognition and relation extraction from natural language text. The project aims to construct knowledge graphs by leveraging graph dependencies between words in sentences. Our model uses syntactic and semantic relationships to improve both entity identification and relation classification accuracy.

Study of Social Networks using GNN

September 2022 - November 2022 • Prof. Anirban Dasgupta

Completed
Applied Graph Neural Networks to predict various social network properties including average node degree, clustering coefficients, and average path lengths. The study analyzed how node and edge additions/deletions affect graph structure and compared GNN predictions with existing theoretical models and baseline approaches.
