Papers & Model Lab
Competition writeups and paper-to-code artifacts behind the systems.
NPPE2: Plant-Leaves Super-Resolution
RRDBNet from scratch, 11-model ensemble with SWA model soups
Messy Mashup: Music Genre Classification
6-model ensemble (AST + CNN) for multi-label genre prediction
MODEL LAB · PAPER-TO-CODE
RRDBNet, built from the paper up
From-scratch PyTorch implementation of the ESRGAN RRDBNet generator, kept as a compact, readable proof that I can translate model papers into working, competition-grade code.

Alok Tripathi
AI/ML Engineer · Agentic AI
I build AI/ML systems, agentic pipelines, and applied research projects that move from competition notebooks to real products.
Most of my work lives at the intersection of research and shipping: reliable systems and real results, not just impressive demos.
