#001 · Research note · May 15, 2026
A practical workflow for evaluating video VLM setups with VideoDB and Langfuse, from task definition and dataset design to tracing, scoring, and deployment decisions.
#002 · arXiv preprint arXiv:2604.11177 · 2026/4/13
Benchmarks how internal reasoning traces affect video scene understanding in Gemini models, including where quality gains plateau and how tight budgets increase compression-step hallucination.
#003 · arXiv preprint arXiv:2502.06445 · 2025/2/10
Introduces an open-source benchmark for evaluating VLMs on OCR tasks in dynamic video environments across 1,477 manually annotated frames.
#004 · Systems 9(3), 53 · 2021/7/13
Presents an agent-based extension of epidemic modeling for confined spaces, comparing black-box and glass-box views while simulating lockdowns, social distancing, hygiene, quarantine, and hospitalization policies.
#005 · IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems 5(1), 277–288 · 2018/1/17
Models emergency evacuations with agents whose panic behavior is shaped by psychological and physical factors, then uses simulations to identify bottlenecks and compare evacuation strategies.
#006 · PyCon India talk · 2015
A practical talk that starts from rule-based NLP features and WordNet, then motivates distributed word representations and deep learning for solving logical puzzles from natural language.
#007 · Research project · Ongoing
Sanskrit picture-poems rebuilt as computational artifacts, connecting sloka, geometry, knight's tours, palindromes, and early algorithmic thinking.
#008 · Research project · Ongoing
Notes on multi-agent systems, collective intelligence, alignment, swarm behavior, and computational models of consciousness.
