Intro
I am a Research Scientist at Google Deepmind working in the Fundamental Research Org. Before this, I was a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University co-advised by Ameet Talwalkar and Graham Neubig. Before starting my PhD, I was a Research Engineer at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) in Seattle. My current research interests broadly cover all things related to learning from multiple tasks: transfer learning, meta-learning, multi-tasking and auxiliary learning. I primarily explore these fields in the context of Natural Language Processing but the tools I develop are domain agnostic.
I have previously worked in Computer Vision (CV) - specifically CV algorithms for High Energy Physics (HEP) and Video Understanding. I did my undergrad (Physics) and Masters (Computer Science) at Stanford University.
Outside of A.I, I am very passionate about Reading, Music, Art, Neuroscience, Philosophy and Food !!.
