E-mail: smsarwar at cs.umass.edu Hi, I am Sheikh Muhammad Sarwar and I am currently pursuing MS/PhD at the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences at UMass Amherst. I will be joining Amazon Alexa Shopping Science team as a full-time Applied Scientist. I work as a research assistant at the Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) and Professor James Allan is my advisor. I started MS/Phd in August, 2016 and since then I have worked on SearchIE - an NSF funded project, MATERIAL - IARPA funded project and BETTER - IARPA funded Project. I have interned at Amazon Query Understanding (Manager: Dr. Danqing Zhang ), Amazon Alexa Shopping Science (Manager: Dr. Vanessa Murdock ), and Checkstep (Manager: Professor Isabelle Augenstein and Professor Preslav Nakov ). |
Short Research Statement
|
I develop novel retrieval and classification approaches under the constraint of zero labeled data in target domain.
Specifically, I try to build models that incorporate target domain vocabulary distribution into the training process with source domain labeled data.
I also study weak supervision approaches to generate noisy data and investigate techniques to leverage them effectively in model training process.
