TCS Research Fellow · PhD Student at IIT Bombay (CSE) Working on NLP for Extremely Low-Resource Languages
I am a fifth-year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay, supervised by Prof. Preethi Jyothi and Late Prof. Pushpak Bhattacharyya.
My research focuses on extremely low-resource languages and how to transfer knowledge from large pretrained models to languages that have almost no data.
I was recently a Visiting Research Scholar at the University of Sheffield, hosted by Prof. Nikos Aletras.
