Hello! My name is Omkar Kabde and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology where I study Computer Science.

I enjoy working at the intersection of machine learning research and real-world applications. My recent projects span diffusion models for time-series forecasting, multimodal learning for hate speech detection, and large-scale data pipelines for Indic languages and financial data. I’ve also published at ACL 2025. Outside of research, I enjoy fitness, badminton, music and reading books.

Keywords: Large Language Models, Machine Learning, Diffusion Models, Natural Language Processing

For more details about my background, refer to my Resume. If you'd like to chat with me about my research or in general, feel free to reach out via email!
