Primary focus of my research is to make NLP tools that are capable of performing in a
multi-lingual settings, making it possible for people to interact with technology in their
vernacular language, and not restrict users to a certain language. An important piece of this
puzzle is to be able to understand code-mixed text, which is very prevalent in multilingual
socities such as India. My PhD is an attempt to make tools to enhance generation and
understanding capabilities for code-mixed text, specifically for code-mixing of Indian
languages. Previously I have worked at Chennai Metro Rail Limited, Chennai as part of Telecom
and Automatic Fare Colleciton Team for 6 years. In addition to my Bachelors of Technology Degree
from St. Martin's Engineering College in Electronics and Communications, I have completed Post
Graduate Diploma in Metro Rail Technology and Management from IIT Madras.
