About Me

As a researcher at Samsung, I have worked on a wide range of NLP tasks which include:
Automatic Speech Recognition, Machine Translation (Text and Speech), Text to Speech, Question Answering, and Neural Information Retrieval.
Recently, my research work has been focussed towards Open-domain Question Answering task.
If you are interested to know more about my work, you can have a look at my recent publications.
Feel free to contact me for any queries/discussions.
