Somdip Dey (born 13 December, 1990),^[1] known professionally as InteliDey, is an Indian-born embedded machine learning researcher, educator, entrepreneur and electronic music producer.^[2][3][4][5] He was previously the editor of the ACM magazine XRDS^[6] and is credited to co-develop the Nosh app, an artificial intelligence based food management application, aiming to reduce food waste in the household.^[7][8][5] He is also the co-founder and CEO of Nosh Technologies. Dey produces music and artworks using his artificial intelligence algorithms,^[9] and he is an artificial intelligence scientist and a lecturer at the University of Essex.^[10][11][3] Dey is also the Editor-in-Chief of nosh daily,^[12][5] a companion blog and news platform of the Nosh app.^[13]

Early life and education[]

Dey was born in Kolkata, India. His parents were artists. He completed his schooling from South Point High School and Patha Bhavan in Kolkata, India and pursued a bachelor's degree in computer science at St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata.^[14] During his second year at St. Xavier's college he started working at Microsoft as a student partner and a mobile developer.^[15][3]

In 2013, Dey moved to the UK, where he studied for a computer science Master's degree at the University of Manchester, and during that time his parents were in a serious car accident. To help his parents in India with their medical bills he sent all of his money while not being able to feed himself. He survived a week by picking waste food from dumpsters. After completing his masters, Dey studied for a PhD at the University of Essex in 2018 and started to work on technologies such as artificial intelligence.^[5][3]

Research and career[]

In 2013, Dey co-developed a QR code based degree/transcript authentication process that can prevent transcripts from forgery or fake degree creation. This method is used for the same purpose in countries such as India, Thailand, Mexico and many other.^[16][17]

In 2014, after Dey's parents were in the car accident, based on personal experience with food waste and hunger he co-developed a crowd food sharing platform that would connect people with food surplus to those who needed it. This food sharing platform was made open-source, which also inspired other entrepreneurs to build similar solutions to reduce food waste.^[12][14]

In 2019, while working at Samsung and University of Essex, Dey led a team of researchers to develop a reinforcement learning based methodology to optimize computing resources of smartphones to prolong battery life based on the user’s interaction with the device. This work was presented at 2020 Design Automation and Test in Europe conference.^[18][19][20]

Dey has collaborated with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory committed to robotic exploration of the solar system.^[21] He co-developed a methodology named SoCodeCNN to bridge the gap between natural language processing and computer vision using convolutional neural networks, aiming to increase the resilience of the electronics systems hardware and software against radiation damage. This was one of the research outcomes of National Centre for Nuclear Robotics, which aims to develop technologies to address the problem of nuclear waste in the UK. SoCodeCNN was highlighted as the most popular paper in the IEEE Access journal after publication.^[22]

After a deal with Plug and Play Ventures did not happen successfully, Dey created artificial intelligence algorithms to produce music and non-fungible token artworks to fund his company. Dey started releasing the music using the stage name InteliDey.^[3]

He serves as a technical program committee member and reviewer of technical conferences such as the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, CVPR, Design Automation and Test in Europe and the Design Automation Conference.^[1] He is a Guest Editor of MDPI journals sensors and future internet.^[23][24] Dey has previously served as Editor of ACM XRDS (magazine).^[6]

Dey at TEDxColchester, 2020

On 13 August 2020, Dey gave a TED talk at TEDxColchester titled 'Are We Developing Artificial Intelligence To Support Humanity?', where he mentions about his journey in pursuing research on artificial intelligence after quitting his job as a software engineer to develop technologies to help paralyzed patients.^[25][26]

He was involved with developing the international standard on engineering and management of websites, as a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Working Group 23026, which defined system engineering and management requirements for the life cycle of websites.^[27]

Dey has published over 70 publications and is one of the top ten researchers in the field of embedded machine learning,^[28] computer systems engineering^[29] and on-device artificial intelligence^[30] based on impact.^[31]

Nosh[]

While working at the University of Essex in 2020, he co-developed the Nosh app, aiming to reduce food waste in the household and co-founded Nosh Technologies with Suman Saha.^[32][33][5] He assumed the role of CEO of Nosh Technologies^[34] while Suman Saha assuming the role of CTO.^[35] In September 2021, Dey attended the TechCrunch Disrupt, where he announced the launch of a new feature called nosh shop, which enables the user to buy food that might go bad soon at a discounted price. Dey also pitched the nosh app at the Disrupt main stage during the Disrupt Desk: Impact session.^[8]

At TechCrunch Disrupt 2021,^[36] during Dey's pitch on the Nosh app, Shelly Hod Moyal, CEO of iAngels, criticized the app as a "nice to have" app rather than something that makes a difference in food waste.^[8] Moyal said at TechCrunch Disrupt:

First of all, I think the vision is very worthy. I mean, there's a lot of waste out there. And there are a lot of people that want to that need to eat. I think that for this specific product, they need to think about how they turn their solution into something that's just nice to have. I mean, understanding what are your expiry dates? Or what are the different things that you can do with your mayonnaise before you throw it away? to something that actually makes a difference?^[37]

In 2021, Dey and scientists from Nosh Technologies and the University of Essex developed an intellectual property named FoodSQRBlock using blockchain, QR code and cloud computing to digitize food supply chain data to improve traceability of food by the farmers and consumers. FoodSQRBlock also aims to improve food safety.^[38][14] As part of Nosh Technologies, Dey also co-developed a blockchain based multi-layered framework named SmartNoshWaste using reinforcement learning based machine learning to reduce waste in the food supply chain.^[39][40] SmartNoshWaste was published in MDPI Smart Cities journal and as of March 2022, it is one of the most viewed article of the journal.^[41]
