👋 Hola!

I’m George Tom. I’m pursuing an integrated Masters programme in Computer Science and Engineering at IIIT Hyderabad, with guidance from both C.V. Jawahar and Dimosthenis Karatzas. My current research involves using multimodal learning to improve driver assistance systems.

RoadTextVQA

Abstract Text and signs around roads provide crucial information for drivers, vital for safe navigation and situational awareness.

Installation Setting up on a fresh system is pretty easy since the dotfiles are managed using stow. cd ~ git clone https://github....
