My research focuses on natural language understanding and generation. I aim to develop general frameworks for generation from underlying meaning representation or for text rewriting such as summarization, text simplification and paraphrase generation. The idea is to develop a general framework that is not specific to an application and which incorporates syntactic and semantic information. I also have experience with parsing and other structured prediction problems.

Before joining Google, I was part of the cohort and EdinburghNLP groups, working closely with Shay Cohen and Mirella Lapata. Previously, I was a doctoral student at Université de Lorraine, Nancy, working at Loria INRIA under the supervision of Claire Gardent. I was awarded an Erasmus Mundus Masters scholarship in Language and Communication Technology (EM-LCT). I did my major (Bachelor of Technology, Honors) in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur India.
