I want to send a huge shoutout to Rishabh for driving the open-sourcing of Genception. Getting a project ready for the open-source community takes a tremendous amount of behind-the-scenes work, from code cleaning, results verification to documentation, and Rishabh’s dedication made it all possible. Thank you, it couldn't have been done without you.

Thanks you for taking time to help out and speak to candidates at the booth, it was super appreciated. Secondly, thank you for volunteering to write a script to parse attendance CVs. This saved a significant amount of time on the ground, meaning I could engage with more students/academics. We also will be able to use this across Google/GDM for upcoming conferences, which will be a huge time saver for teams across the org! Thanks again, Alfie!

Thank you so much for your exceptional contributions to the Grounded Concepts 2022 effort, which were an integral part to make it an overall success. The end-of-year presentation to our sponsors was very well received, as were our plans for taking this work to the next level going forward. I am really looking forward to seeing what the team achieve together in 2023.

Thank you for all your support on hiring. We very much appreciate all you have done on the quiz elimination project, and your support with CV screening. It's crucial for DeepMind and for the Core RE team that we continue to hire great people into the team. Core RE has been under significant pressure over the past year, and your work is the first step towards alleviating this through hiring a (hopefully large) batch of great new people, and eliminating the quiz brings our processn more in line with our DE&I goals.

Rishabh has been an incredible collaborator on our "OAT" paper (he even came up with the acronym). Rishabh implemented the OP3 model as a baseline which really highlighted the benefits of our model and strengthened the paper significantly. This baseline will also be useful for other researchers within DM looking to publish papers on related topics. He has also put significant time in to reviewing the paper and making thoughtful suggestions as well as being great for bouncing ideas off. Thank you Rishabh!

Rishabh, thank you so much for coming out to Boston with us. We quite literally couldn't have done it with out you! You were ace on the career stand talking with candidates and I know you put so much thought and effort into the talk - which really paid off :) My inbox has been flooded with messages from candidates saying how much they enjoyed meeting us and I'll keep you posted on who we hire.

Recommendation for Graduate School

I am pleased to recommend Rishabh Kabra for graduate school.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am pleased to recommend Rishabh Kabra for graduate school. Rishabh took my class 6.172 Performance Engineering of Software Systems during the fall semester of 2012 and received an A. This class is an intensive lab offering in MIT’s computer science department consisting of open-ended projects to optimize software performance. Students can easily bypass this class, because there is an easier class satisfying the same departmental laboratory requirement. Consequently, only the top MIT computer-science undergraduates (about 15%) elect to take this class. Rishabh’s overall performance placed him in the top 20% of the students taking 6.172, making him certainly one of the top 5% of the MIT computer-science undergraduates overall.

Besides demonstrating technically proficiency, Rishabh excelled at the group work required in the class. He collaborated effectively in each of the four teams to which he belonged, and he seemed to be a natural leader among his peers. At the end of the term, his team placed second overall in the class’s capstone tournament.

As a whole, Rishabh’s background and education have prepared him well for pursuing a rigorous mathematical program. His chosen MIT coursework in discrete mathematics, algorithms, linear algebra, probability, and statistics have grounded him in the mathematical foundations of his engineering focus. Numerous other engineering classes — especially Advanced Topics in Data Processing, Introduction to Machine Learning, and Computer Systems Engineering — have undoubtedly contributed to his quantitative abilities. His reports and presentations also demonstrated good communication skills.

I believe that Rishabh’s future research goals will be served well by his interests in applied mathematics and statistics. I strongly recommend him for graduate school in any mathematical discipline.

Sincerely,

Professor Charles E. Leiserson Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow
