About
I'm Kislay, currently pursuing an MS by Research in Computer Science & Engineering at IIT Bombay, where I'm part of the CFILT Lab. I completed my B.Tech from IIT Kanpur in 2025. I have a strong interest in reinforcement learning, machine learning and language technologies, and enjoy working on problems that involve learning theory, decision making and statistics.
Outside of academics, I really enjoy chess, I follow top games closely and play competitively (currently around 1900, though I have touched 2000 before… we don't talk about the rating drop, also it's chess com rating not FIDE, i'm not a genius). I also follow Formula 1, sketch in my free time, and enjoy reading books. Lately, I've been learning to play the piano as well. You can find me on X, check out my occasional blogs in the notes section, browse through my projects, or see my vibe projects.
Research
Theoretical Reinforcement Learning
I work on theoretical reinforcement learning with a focus on bandit problems involving hidden structure, such as latent user states or clustered populations. My research studies how offline models and shared structure can be combined with online exploration to design sample efficient algorithms with provable regret guarantees.
Sparse Video Generation
I study efficient video generation with diffusion transformers, with a focus on sparse attention methods, GPU kernel optimization, and practical benchmarking. My work centers on understanding and improving systems like SVG and SVG2, including Triton-based custom kernels, CUDA-level performance optimization, FlashAttention/FlashInfer internals, and fair quality-latency evaluation for video generation models.
Reinforcement Learning for Adaptive LLM Agents
I study how reinforcement learning ideas can be used to help large language model (LLM) agents improve from feedback during real use. This work focuses on test time adaptation using reflection, memory, and personalization rather than model fine tuning. As part of the Flipkart–IIT Bombay collaboration, my goal is to build LLM agents that become more reliable and user aware over time.
