About me

I am third year PhD student and a fifth year graduate student (add 2 for MS) working with Prof. Dan Roth. I work on Machine Learning techniques for Natural Language Processing. More specifically, I work on supervised and un(semi-)supervised learning for structured output prediction for NLP applications.

I received M.S. in Computer Science from the same Department in May, 2009. Before that, I obtained a B. Tech degree from the Department of Computer Science at IIT Bombay.
