VIJAYAWADA: Venkata Sree Karthikeya Gattupalli, a technology entrepreneur with roots in Tadepalli, has been selected to present his pioneering artificial intelligence research at the prestigious International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2026 to be held in Seoul, South Korea.
Mr. Karthikeya is the son of Mr. G Ramaprasad of Tadepalli and Mr. Vaishnavi, founder of legalbill.ai, a legal technology startup based in Reno, Nevada, USA. His research paper entitled “Domain Adaptive Hybrid Mamba Attention SLM for Legal Claims Review” was accepted after rigorous international peer review and approved for presentation at the AI4Law Workshop at ICML 2026 on July 10th.
This study targets critical challenges within the multibillion-dollar U.S. legal services industry, which relies heavily on complex corporate billing and manual invoice review processes. Karthikeya’s paper introduces an innovative type of Small Language Model (SLM) designed specifically for the legal field. This specialized AI model automates the review of attorney invoices and flags line item errors and overcharges.
He emphasized that the validation at ICML proves that world-class AI innovation can emerge from highly focused domain-specific engineering, adding that he is proud to represent both the US startup and Tadepari on the global stage.
