Research Areas

My research focuses mainly on text mining. Some of the research problems that I am tackling include developing effective dialog models. I am also actively working in the field of Sanskrit Computational Linguistics, where the focus is on developing a generic framework for solving a variety of NLP tasks such as word segmentation, morph analysis, dependency parsing, poetry to prose conversion, with a little task-specific annotated data.
