Arvind Pillai
I am a 4th year PhD student at Dartmouth College, advised by Prof. Andrew Campbell. Currently, I am a research intern at Nokia Bell Labs (Cambridge, UK) for the Summer 2024. Before my PhD, I worked as a AI & Data Graduate Scientist at AstraZenca.
My interdisciplinary research enables the examination of mental health and behavior of individuals through mobile sensing and robust machine learning. In particular, I am interested in these two areas:
-
AI for Mental Health: I develop models from different modalities to evaluate the presence of mental illness symptoms: (a) rare life events for sensor data [CHIL’23], (b) suicidal ideation detection from speech [UbiComp’24], and (c) depression detection from front-facing smartphone images [CHI’24].
-
Robust ML: I like analyzing how healthcare ML models perform when tested against out-of-distribution data. In general, these models do not perform well, and proposing algorithms to address this issue is very interesting. To this end, I have investigated the generalization of speech-based suicidal ideation detection [UbiComp’24].
