Hello, my name is Anju Chhetri.
I am currently a Master's student at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. I am also a founding team member and Co-operation Lead at AI Safety Nepal, an organization established to advance AI safety research and foster a community of AI safety practitioners in Nepal.
Before joining TUM, I completed my engineering degree at Pulchowk Campus, Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. I also worked as a research assistant at the Multimodal Learning Lab at NAAMII for two years, having previously worked there as an undergraduate research intern for one year.
My current research interests focus on building more robust and reliable machine learning models. More broadly, I am interested in understanding the inner workings of machine learning systems. When I am not working on research, I enjoy being surrounded by nature and often go hiking. I also find peace in painting and playing my ukulele. Reading is a newer hobby of mine.When Confidence Lacks Concepts: Interpretable OOD Detection via Representation Perturbations
