Yash Jain

Welcome! I am a researcher at Microsoft specializing in the intersection of diffusion models—which are generative models used to create synthetic data—and multimodal large-language models that integrate various data types such as text and images. I collaborate closely with Vibhav Vineet on projects aimed at enhancing the capabilities of these models.
Previously, I graduated from Georgia Tech and finished my thesis under the mentorship of Zsolt Kira. Before that, I earned my bachelor’s in Computer Science from IIT Bombay, where I received an excellence in research award under the guidance of Soumen Chakrabarti.
