His research interests encompass a wide range of areas, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and knowledge representation. He has published numerous research papers in reputed international journals and conference proceedings and has received several awards for his research contributions.
Project Udaan[edit]
Project Udaan is an IIT Bombay initiative to enable translation of textbooks and other learning materials written in English to Hindi and all other Indian languages. It is a donation-based project aimed at translating scientific and technical content. Prof. Ramakrishnan and his team have created this AI-enabled ecosystem to ensure translation of engineering learning materials to various vernacular languages.[5] Recognizing their work, Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT) signed an MoU with IIT Bombay in July 2023.[6]
Bharat GPT[edit]
In December 2023, Prof Ramakrishnan became involved in a partnership with Reliance Jio to utilize the capabilities of generative pre-trained transformers to develop AI solutions addressing key business verticals like telecom and retail under Reliance[7]. The announcement was made by the Chairman of Reliance, Akash Ambani at IIT Bombay's annual tech-fest. Bharat GPT would be a public-private partnership initiative led by IIT Bombay with Reliance.[8]
