Jaiveer Bassi

I build and audit intelligent systems, from robot data pipelines and fault injection rigs to reproducible machine learning research.

I am an AI Robot Operator at Physical Intelligence and Founder & Executive Director of House of Seva. I hold an M.S. in Software Engineering and a B.S. in Computer Science.

Open to full time robotics software, AI/ML, and software engineering opportunities.

Current focus

Research

Reproducible work with the claim, evidence, controls, and limitations kept together.

Nearly identical MRI scans found across the benchmark training and test folders
Archived releaseMedical imaging · Benchmark audit

Brain Tumor MRI Benchmark Audit

Re audits a widely used four class MRI benchmark. Among traceable tumor test images, every patient also appears in training; 216 test images are pixel identical to training images. The release provides recovered patient identifiers and a patient disjoint five fold split.

Corrected PGD transfer rates across perturbation budgets and model pairs
Corrected implementationAdversarial ML · CIFAR 10

Transferability of Adversarial Attacks Across Machine Learning Models

Rebuilt the study around CIFAR 10 trained models, validation selected checkpoints, attacks in raw pixel space, shared cohorts, norm checks, explicit denominators, confidence intervals, and prediction level reproducibility artifacts. The original near 100% transfer claim is superseded.

Closed-loop success and open-loop error across five demonstration failure modes
PreprintRobot learning · Data quality

Not All Bad Demonstrations Are Equally Bad

A controlled simulation study treating demonstration quality, rather than model architecture, as the independent variable. It compares five failure modes and shows why held out action MSE can misrepresent closed loop policy damage. Current results use a 2D task and three seeds.

Trajectory smoothness metric results under episode-length controls
PreprintRobot learning · Demonstration curation

Smoothness Ranks Skill, Not Success

Audits published trajectory smoothness curation metrics under episode length controls, finding that they primarily rank operator skill rather than demonstration success.

MobileNetV2 model size after FP16 and INT8 quantization
PreprintEdge AI · Model deployment

Efficient Packaging and Deployment of AI Models for Edge Inference

Studies quantization, pruning, lightweight containers, and specialized runtimes for deploying neural networks on embedded GPUs and CPUs.

Benchmark comparison of local transformer-based coding assistants
PreprintLLMs · Local inference

Local Deployment of Transformer Based Code Assistants

Examines the speed, accuracy, memory, and deployment tradeoffs of running coding assistants on consumer hardware.
