... somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known.

Biosketch and Research Interests

Current Position: Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur.
Before joining IIT Kharagpur, I was a Scientist at Yahoo! Labs Bangalore, and a visiting scholar at the Helsinki University of Technology.

I have a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Indian Insitute of Science, Bangalore , and M.Tech. in Computer Science from I.S.I. Kolkata and a B.Tech. from I.I.T. Roorkee .

I am broadly interested in Machine Learning, with specific interests in Explainability and Data-centric AI, Multi-task Learning, Learning with Temporal Point Processes, Network Representation Learning, and Scalable Machine Learning.

I have applied these techniques on problems in Computer Vision, Information Extraction, Opinion Dynamics and Sentiment Analysis, Computational Advertising, Health Informatics, Natural Language Processing, Web and Online Social Networks.
