Hi, my name is Vibhor Gupta.

Hi, my name is Vibhor Gupta. I am currently engineering the future of connectivity, busy in making 6G a reality!

I recently earned my Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) from the University of Michigan. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in a variety of areas, including Communication Networks, Wireless Systems, Reinforcement Learning and Real-Time Embedded Systems. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with industry leaders such as Qualcomm and Samsung, where I played integral roles in the development and optimization of cutting-edge technologies.

In addition to my technical prowess, I am a dedicated leader and community advocate. As the Projects Officer for the IEEE HKN Chapter at the University of Michigan, I organized and facilitated community service opportunities, fostering a culture of giving back and collaboration. My leadership experiences extend to mentoring teams and coordinating events.

I am driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to making a positive impact in the world of technology. Let's connect to explore opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and growth.

Research Projects

RL for NLP Tasks

University Of Michigan, MI, USA

Jan 2024 - Apr 2024

This project investigates methodologies for enhancing the performance of small language models by aligning them with user intent across diverse tasks with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). By leveraging RLHF, the aim is to address the limitations of smaller models, improve their coherence, consistency, and relevance in generating text, and mitigate biases inherited from training data. Specifically, the project presents a two enhancements for a parameterized masking strategy, that focuses model attention on relevant tokens, generating relevant coherent factually correct response.
