Research Interest
My broad research interests are in Natural Language Processing, Human Computer Interaction and Deep Learning. Some of the areas I am working are,
- Large Language Models Inference/Training and Representation Learning [ EMNLP-24 , EMNLP-23 , GEM@EMNLP-23 ]
- Multi-granularity Information Extraction (event and argument extraction, argument augmentation) [ EMNLP-24 , AAAI-24, arXiv]
- Multimodal NLP (analyze text, image, speech, and other meta signals to build intelligent systems and evaluate large VLMs) [ ACL-24 , EACL-24]
- NLP for Social Good (application focusing on Social Science and Healthcare) [AAAI-24, ICWSM-24 , Neurocomputing]
