Welcome to my homepage.  I am a Director of Research at Google Deepmind.  I am based in New York City.  I lead teams of researchers distributed between New York, London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Seattle.  We work on language technologies.

My current research ensures that large language models can generate factually accurate content that is attributable to trustworthy sources.  My broad interests lie in controllable models of language generation in communicative and collaborative scenarios.

I worked on the following problems in the past:

• Model interpretability
• Representation learning
• Paraphrase identification and natural language inference
• Semantic parsing
• Cross-lingual methods

Prior to working at Google Deepmind, I was part of Google Brain and Google Research.  I completed a Ph.D. from the Language Technologies Institute, School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in 2012.  In 2005, I completed a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.

Here is a stale CV.
