Jai Amin

I'm an undergraduate student in Computer Science at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. Over the years, I have been an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at Khoury College of Computer Sciences for DS4400: Machine Learning and Data Mining 1 and CS3500: Object-Oriented Design.

Currently, I'm a Machine Learning Co-op at Verizon. My work includes training and deploying computer vision microservices such as creative style transfer and salient object detection tasks using state-of-the-art CNNs, GANs, and diffusion models.

I also spent time at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sensein Group). My previous work involved developing tools leveraging applied NLP and neuro-symbolic AI research to support neuroscientists.

I'm excited about computer vision, deep learning, generative AI, and spatial intelligence.

Neural style transfer with salient region preservation applies style transfer (inspired by Gatys et al., 2015) while keeping key objects distinct. Using U2-Net trained on DUTS, MSRA10k, and fine-tuned on HKU-IS, the model identifies and preserves salient regions.

I enjoy science fiction, horror, and historical fiction. Here are a few favorites:
