I am a second-year computer science Ph.D. student at School of Computing, University of Utah. My advisor is Hal Daumé III. I am interested in NLP and machine learning, particularly in the context of semi-supervised learning. Along with my advisor, I also collaborate with Suresh Venkatasubramanian on using streaming paradigm to addresss large-scale NLP problems. Besides, I have also worked on information extraction using pattern-based approach with Siddharth Patwardhan.

I did my Bachelors with Honors in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT, Hyderabad , India. I have worked with Rajeev Sangal on clause boundary identification, named-entity recognition and studied parsing for my undergraduate thesis.
