Pratik Dahal

PhD candidate in statistics, building ML systems at the intersection of probabilistic inference, graph-structured models, and retrieval-backed applications.

Focus on variational inference, spatial models on graphs, and validation before production rollout.

About

I build models and the code around them: training pipelines, comparisons before deployment, and retrieval stacks where sources stay visible. Research centers on spatial and graph-structured priors when the neighborhood graph is imperfect.

Featured Projects

ML rollout tooling, RAG infrastructure, and one spatial-statistics research line.

BayesPilot

Track training runs and evaluations in one workflow. Model comparisons and rollout choices stay tied to the same metrics and artifacts.

Vector RAG Backend

Embeddings, vector search, and response wiring that keeps citations with model outputs. Tuned for production latency and operational debugging, not prototype demos.

SDM-CAR

Research. Spatial model in the CAR family with a learned spectral prior on the graph—less reliance on a fixed neighborhood matrix when the graph is imperfect. Variational and MCMC pieces for inference and prediction.
