Siddharth Nishtala
Pursuing a Master of Science degree at IIT Madras.
I am an MS student at the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, IIT Madras and am advised by Prof. Balaraman Ravindran. I am also associated with the Robert Bosch Centre for Data Science and AI.
I am currently working on a project in collaboration with Google AI and ARMMAN to improve maternal and child health outcomes by increasing engagement in a call-based information program through targeted interventions. Specifically, we are exploring the restless bandits framework for planning and making interventions to retain beneficiairies in the program.
My other interests include multi-task and meta learning.
