PROFILE
Roman Korostik
Over six months, contributed to NVIDIA/NeMo by building and refining audio processing pipelines, focusing on robust data augmentation, deterministic testing, and enhanced model configuration. Developed online audio augmentation features in the Lhotse dataloader, introducing clipping, lowpass filtering, and lossy codecs to improve model generalization. Integrated Lhotse dataloader support for multichannel ASR workflows and implemented deterministic test strategies using PyTorch and Pytest to ensure reproducibility. Enhanced flow-matching models with new objectives and improved error messaging for data preprocessing. Work emphasized Python scripting, deep learning, and rigorous testing, resulting in more reliable, maintainable, and reproducible audio model development and deployment.
