I am a third year PhD student at the LTI, advised by Prof Yiming Yang. Currently I am working on the CMU Adaptive Filtering Engine (CAFÉ) as part of the GALE Project. CAFÉ combines adaptive filtering, passage retrieval, and novelty detection for utility-based information distillation.

My Curriculum Vitae.

Thanks to Yahoo! for supporting my research through the Yahoo! PhD Fellowship for 2007-09.

I received my B.Tech. in Information Technology from IIIT Allahabad, India in 2005.

Research Interests

Statistical machine learning, algorithms for text retrieval and web data processing.
