I am a deep learning scientist at Seurat and an adjunct faculty member teaching AI/ML at Northeastern University. I received my PhD from Northeastern, with research interests in representation learning and self-supervised learning. My journey was featured on the University PhD Network and spotlighted by the College of Engineering as a Student Success Story.

When I am not geeking out over machine learning, I enjoy DJing, snapping photos, or out on the water kayaking or paddleboarding.

Pain is inevitable, Suffering is a choice.

Artifacts Analysis and Mitigation in NLP

Machine learning models can reach high performance on benchmark natural language processing (NLP) datasets but fail in more challenging settings. We study this issue when pre-trained model learns dataset artifacts in natural language inference (NLI), the topic of studying the logical relationship between a pair of text sequences.
