Effective April 2020, I am on extended leave of absence from IISc, away from my administrative duties. I continue to advise my existing students at IISc. However, until further notice, I shall not be taking new students (PhD/Masters/ERP), project staff, and interns.

News & Activities



Research


I am broadly interested in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Knowledge Graphs. My recent research has focused on graph-based learning algorithms for large-scale information extraction and data integration, temporal information processing, automatic knowledge harvesting from large data, and neuro-semantics.

My research group at IISc: Machine And Language Learning (MALL) Lab

To learn more about AI@IISc, visit here. I also continue to actively collaborate with the following research groups at CMU: Read the Web (CMU), CMU Brain Research Group

Past Research Groups: Search Labs (Microsoft Research), Structured Learning at Penn, Penn Research in Machine Learning (PRIML), Penn Natural Language Processing, Penn BioIE Group.
