Hi! I am a Ph.D. researcher at George Mason University under the guidance of Prof. Ziyu Yao. I received my master’s degree in computer science from the Indian Institute of Technology, Patna (IIT-P) where I worked with Professor Pushpak Bhattacharyya in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP). After obtaining my MS degree, I joined TCS research to gain industrial experience in NLP and have worked on projects to create conversational agents that provided aid in various professional activities at TCS research. My research interests are Question-Answering (QA), Dialogue Systems, Knowledge graphs using tools from graph theory, and representation learning. Recently I am focused on understanding the human-machine interaction, specifically in a conversational setting where the system tries to understand and answer the user queries. In addition to this, I am also interested in Natural Language Generation which can aid a QA system to provide natural language response (e.g., with less ambiguity, fewer grammatical mistakes, etc.).
