This proposal aims to investigate the spatial and molecular heterogeneity of fibroblast populations within lung tissue,
focusing on how fibroblast activation and inactivation contribute to distinct pulmonary diseases. Fibroblasts, key cells
in lung tissue remodeling and repair, display varied phenotypes influenced by their spatial distribution and
biochemical signals in the lung microenvironment. These variations have significant implications for disease
progression and potential therapeutic interventions.

Bibhas In this study, we will specifically examine fibroblast phenotypes associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary
Roy disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). COPD is characterized by fibroblast inactivation, while IPF

3.Chromosomal Mapping: We will map the identified genes to specific chromosomes and rank these chromosomes

Biological
Sciences This research will deepen our understanding of the genetic and epigenetic landscape underlying fibroblast activation
states in lung disease. Ultimately, these findings will identify key regulatory checkpoints, offering a foundation for
therapeutic targets in future intervention experiments within our lab. This project thus holds potential for advancing
the molecular basis of COPD and IPF treatments by targeting fibroblast activity.

With the increasing ability of large language models (LLMs), in-context learning (ICL) has evolved as a new paradigm
for natural language processing (NLP), where instead of fine-tuning the parameters of an LLM specific to a
downstream task with labeled examples, a small number of such examples is appended to a prompt instruction for
controlling the decoder's generation process. ICL, thus, is conceptually similar to a non-parametric approach, such as k-

Retrieval in IR. While standard unsupervised ranking models can be used to retrieve these few-shot examples from a training set,
the effectiveness of the examples can potentially be improved by re-defining the notion of relevance specific to its
utility for the downstream task, i.e., considering an example to be relevant if including it in the prompt instruction
leads to a correct prediction. With this task-specific notion of relevance, it is possible to train a supervised ranking
model (e.g., a bi-encoder or cross-encoder), which potentially learns to optimally select the few-shot examples.

TL; DR: There are two distinct directions, and I plan to take on folks separately for each of them. The idea is to
introduce a new brain-inspired regulariser for Neural Networks/Deep Networks and investigate if it has specific
advantages over existing Deep Learning paradigms.

DIRECTION 1:
Neurons in the brain are electric in nature. Due to spatial constraints, they tend to be packed in close proximity to each
other. As a result, electrical activity in a neuron alters the local electric field, influencing the activity of nearby

Here, we propose incorporating multiple models of ephaptic coupling in Deep Neural Networks and investigate the
performance of the networks upon doing so. We will investigate network performance as a function of the strength of
ephaptic coupling and in cases where ephaptic coupling is heterogeneous. We will also study the effects of ephaptic
coupling, in conjunction with existing regularizers such as DropOut. It will also be interesting to examine how
ephaptic coupling influences the presence of lottery tickets, as suggested in the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis.

DIRECTION 2:

Since the launch of ChatGPT, less than 2 years ago, Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a central part of the
AI revolution, and indeed the public face of AI's remarkable recent advances. Some expect that the progress in LLMs
will culminate in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Recent research has built temporal deep convolutional networks that reproduce the working of biological neurons in
the cerebral cortex to unprecedented accuracy. However, a shortcoming of these techniques is that it requires
prohibitively large amounts of data to train, due to which it is not feasible to apply to real-world settings. This project
will investigate the potential for transfer learning to overcome this shortcoming. Specifically, we will explore if the
known anatomical structure of the neuron can help significantly reduce the amount of activity data needed to train the

Most neurons in the mammalian brain are thought to communicate with each other via stereotypical electric pulses
called action potentials or spikes. They do so primarily via junctions called chemical synapses. Here, in response to a
presynaptic action potential, vesicles containing neurotransmitter are released into the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitter
molecules, thus released, bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, which modulates their membrane potential,
which can in turn alter the postsynaptic neuron’s activity. This is called synaptic transmission and is the primary
means by which signals are transmitted from one neuron to another.

Indeed, the DropOut rule & its variants are remarkably reminiscent of unreliable synaptic transmission, as
experimentally observed in the brain. The remarkable success of such rules in Deep Learning raise the possibility of
similar benefits of unreliable synaptic transmission in the brain, which were not foreseen previously.

Here, via computational modeling and simulations, we propose to investigate such a beneficial role of unreliable
synaptic transmission. We are interested in the specific nature of such a beneficial role and how it may vary with
pertinent parameters such as vesicle release probability. This could depend on the type of task that the neural circuit is
The project titled "Barriers to Sustainable Consumption" aims to investigate the various obstacles that prevent or
