Thrupthi Ann John
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, while in practice, there is.
I am a Ph.D student under Prof. C V Jawahar and Prof. Vineeth N Balasubramanian. I belong to the Computer Vision and Information Technology Lab (CVIT) in IIIT Hyderabad. My research interests are in computer vision, machine learning and pattern recognition. My thesis is on the interpretation and analysis of deep face representations. Find my CV here.
