I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google working on Bard.
Previously, I completed my Ph.D. from the Computer and Information Science Department at the University of Pennsylvania, under the guidance of Dan Roth. My thesis described approaches to exploit cross-lingual representations as a means of extending NLP tools to languages beyond English.
Even before that, I obtained an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur.
