Master's in Computer Science
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Hello!
I'm a recent Master's in Computer Science graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (currently open to jobs), where I was a part of the Language and Technology lab, directed by Rada Mihalcea.
My research focus is around Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, and I have worked on a diverse range of NLP projects and papers ranging from biomedical NLP, Machine Translation, and NLP for mental health.
I went to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign for my Bachelor's in Computer Science. I worked under Professor Halil Kılıçoglu as well as Professor Lane Schwartz. I have published a paper on Machine Translation in Japanese and English with Professor Schwartz and Giang Ha Le.
Projects
Extending the NeuroDecipher - Shinka Mori, Abhishek Mishra, Vansh Dhar, Vaibhav Vats, Kushal Agarwal
Extension of the NeuroDecipher paper by Luo et al, 2019 . Group project for the CSCI544(Advanced Natural Language Processing) Course at USC.
We built upon the works by Luo et al's NeuroDecipher, a neural network model that facilitates the process of finding cognates. Our proposed model is able to identify 81% of the cognates correctly between Ugaritic (lost) and Hebrew (known) languages and beats the state-of-the-art performance by 15.13%. Report available here.
