Hi, I'm Mansi Phute
CS PhD at Georgia Tech
My research interests are Responsible AI and ML safety.
I work on developing explanations for ML systems, analyzing them to identify vulnerabilities, and finding solutions to mitigate these issues.
My UNDREAM system offers a way to bridge differentiable rendering and photorealistic simulation for end-to-end adversarial attacks, thus enabling better transferability of attacks to the physical world.
My work includes VISOR and VISOR++ which create a universal, transferable steering image that can steer architecturally diverse models without requiring access to their internal model parameters at runtime.
I have collaborated with designers, developers, and scientists at
IBM,
HiddenLayer,
Intel Labs, and
Nanyang Technological University
