Vasudev Lal
Principal AI Research Scientist at Intel Labs where I lead the Multimodal Cognitive AI team. The Cognitive AI team develops AI systems that can synthesize concept-level understanding from multiple modalities: vision, language, video, etc. leveraging large-scale AI clusters powered by Intel AI HW (eg: Intel Gaudi-based AI clusters). Vasudev’s current research interests include self-supervised training at scale for continuous and high dimensional modalities like images, video and audio; mechanisms to go beyond statistical learning in today’s AI systems by incorporating counterfactual reasoning and principles from causality and exploring full 3D parallelism (tensor + parallel + data) for training and inferencing large AI models on Intel AI HW (eg: Intel Gaudi-based AI clusters in Intel Dev Cloud). Vasudev obtained his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2012.
