I'm an independent researcher in the areas of Information Extraction and Retrieval and I usually have deeper interests in Automated Text Summarization. This interest rooting from my masters thesis on the topic, which I defended in December 2009 to graduate from the MS (by Research) course at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. At IIIT-Hyderabad, I worked in Search and Information Extraction Lab of Language Technologies Research Centre. My Thesis Advisor was Dr Vasudeva Varma and I used to work closely with Dr Prasad Pingali, who was my Mentor.
