This project delves into the synergy between Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the legal domain, presenting novel solutions to enduring challenges.
I like to define myself as a researcher who is eager to apply the knowledge which has been acquired through learning continuously. It requires me to grab every opportunity to expand my knowledge. My interested areas are Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Distributed Systems, Compiler Design, and Data Science.
