I am a Research Scientist at Allen Institute for AI (AI2). My research is primarily focused on developing general Natural Language Processing capabilities to address information overload, particularly in specialized domains that pose unique challenges. To address information overload, I develop models and techniques that empower humans to better control the cluttered data and facilitate information access. These include core representation learning and language modeling methods, systems and models designed for extracting and summarizing salient information, and models for improved search and categorization in large collections of data. I received my PhD in computer science at Georgetown University in May 2018 where I worked with Nazli Goharian. For most recent list of publications please refer to my Google Scholar page. Full CV: Pdf
