About

I am a post-doctoral researcher (Lehrstulmitarbeiter) at Vasishth lab, Dept. of Linguistics, Univ. of Potsdam.

Before joining Potsdam, I was a research lecturer at LTRC, IIIT-Hyderabad where I completed my PhD in Computational Linguistics in June 2011.

For my thesis, I had been working towards building a generic dependency parsing paradigm for morphologically rich free word order languages (with special focus on Indian languages, such as Hindi, Bangla, Telugu, etc.). Towards this end, I have proposed a generalized 2-stage constraint based hybrid parsing approach. I have also applied some of the salient properties of this paradigm to data-driven dependency parsing. I was also closely involved in the development of Hindi/Urdu dependency treebank that is part of a larger Hindi/Urdu treebanking project.

My broad research interests are natural language (NL) Parsing, NL Modeling, Dependency Grammar, and Cognitive Science.
