I’m a researcher at Emory University’s Department of Computer Science working with Prof. Eugene Agichtein. I’m interested in a wide variety of problems which generally fall under Natural Language Processing & Information Retrieval. I graduated from BITS Pilani, India after which I worked for 6 years in the domain of Conversational AI at Amelia (IPsoft) in the wonderful cities of Bangalore & New York. I got the opportunity to lead the R&D team of around 10-20 enthusiasts working on diverse NLP topics viz., intent classification, slot tagging, VerbNet & PropBank parsing, KB-based QA, paraphrasing, semantic parsing, relation extraction & dialog retrieval, ranking, generation and other conversational AI problems. In the summers of 2022 and 2023, I worked with the Natural Understanding Team at Amazon, Alexa in NY and San Jose on multi-task learning for their LLMs and for creating simulators for training dialog assistants.
Publications: Most upto date stuff can be found on Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar.

I used to maintain a personal blog on WordPress where I mostly wrote non-NLP stuff on rare occasions! You can find some of my random writings on Politics, Linguistics, some book reviews and sometimes when I’ve gone backpacking! One serious advice - cook this!
