Bio

I'm a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technologies Institute. Broadly speaking, my research interests lie in the fields of natural language processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence. I'm currently working on multilingual named entity recognition and co-reference resolution, under the supervision of Dr. Robert Frederking. I also collaborate closely with Dr. Anatole Gershman and Bo Lin. Before coming to Carnegie Mellon, I was a visiting research scholar at the University of Pennslyvania's Linguistics Data Consortium. My research there, under the guidance of Dr. Lyle Ungar and Dr. Mark Liberman, was on simultaneous word-sense disambiguation and part-of-speech tagging for Arabic text. In what seems like a previous life, I graduated with a B.Tech and an M.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in 2008, with Dr. Arijit Bishnu as my advisor.
