I am studying Cognitive Science, specializing in Artificial Cognition at Osnabrück University. Previously I obtained my Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, where I wrote my thesis with the Computer Science and Engineering Department.

I am broadly interested in working towards a more Dynamical Systems understanding of Machine Learning. Having worked on Reinforcement Learning projects extensively in the past, where Dynamics and Control are more intuitive, I wonder how these concepts can be carried over to other fields of Machine Learning. Recent advances in State Space Modelling that study latent dynamics also excite me.

I hope to explore and share more of my scientific journey on this page as I go through my Graduate studies.

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
