Darsh J Shah
I am a freshly minted PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT.
I work on Natural Language Processing and am very fortunate to have been advised by Prof. Regina Barzilay.
I graduated from IIT Bombay in 2016, with a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering.
Research
I am interested in modeling the generation of contrastive text.Contradictions are pervasive and I study text generation problems which deal with contrastive data. This has been encapsulated in my work on - (i) Generating related work sections for Scientific Papers, where we need to deal with different relations between the past work and a new research idea; (ii) Generating consensual multi-document summaries which are cognisant of the degree of agreement/disagreement amongst all inputs and (iii) Generating fact-guided modifications in text, where an old compendium is modified using a factual claim which contradicts past information.
I am also interested in scaling machine learning models so that they generalize to many tasks and are applicable for all people.
Which has inspired my work in transfer learning, domain adaptation and de-biasing.
