Hardaat Singh Baath

I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at Nurix.AI, building speech and multilingual RAG systems. Before that — deep-learning research, an AI role in Tokyo, and leading autonomy on a student Mars rover.

Projects

Selected work

A few things I've built across ML, robotics, and backend systems — from research to production.

Speech Emotion Recognition

Released

A multi-corpus emotion-recognition model in PyTorch — trained on IEMOCAP, RAVDESS, and CREMA-D — reaching 87% classification accuracy. Built at Nurix.AI.

PyTorchAudioDeep Learning

Multimodal Multilingual RAG

Building

A retrieval-augmented generation pipeline serving multiple languages and modalities at 96% accuracy with a p95 latency of 2.93s. Built at Nurix.AI.

RAGLLMsRetrieval

Distributed Deployment Platform

Released

Deploys GitHub repos to the web via AWS S3 + ECS, with a Node.js API and reverse proxy, a Kafka log pipeline, and PostgreSQL for real-time build logs.

Project Kratos — Mars Rover

Research

Autonomous navigation for a student-built Mars rover: visual servoing with YOLO, PID + RTK-GNSS waypointing to 10 cm accuracy, and point-cloud terrain mapping on a Jetson.
