Research Areas
Research Interests
My research interests lie in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and the Semantic Web, with an emphasis on developing computational methods for modeling structured meaning in extended discourse. I work on representation learning using transformer-based architectures, information-theoretic measures, and signal-processing techniques to capture multi-scale linguistic patterns. My applied focus includes domain-specific language models, knowledge graph construction and integration, discourse segmentation, and semantic reasoning over low-resource Indian Mythological,Cultural and Philosophical texts. I am also interested in interpretable and hybrid neuro-symbolic systems for real-world language understanding tasks.
