About Me
MS/PhD in Computer Science at UMass Amherst.
I am a third year MS/PhD student in Computer Science advised by Prof. Andrew McCallum. I am a member of Information Extraction and Synthesis Laboratory. I am broadly interested in natural language processing and machine learning. A bit more specifically, I am interested in methods for learning representation of entities, in structured prediction models, and clustering.
I received my bachelors in Computer Science from IIT Delhi in 2017 where I worked with Prof. Amitabha Bagchi and Prof. Subodh Vishnu Sharma. I was a research intern at Big Data Experience Labs, Adobe, Bangalore in Summer 2016 where I worked with Sumit Shekhar.

Updates
- (Jan'20) Paper titled "Stochastic Package Queries in Probabilistic Databases" accepted in SIGMOD 2020.
- (Dec'19) Passed PhD Portfolio exam!
- (Jun'19) Implementation of Exponential linkage (proposed in our ICML'19 paper) now available as part of Higra, a C++/Python library for efficient sparse graph analysis with a special focus on hierarchical methods. Thanks to the developers of Higra for adding implemenation of exponential linkage to Higra!
