Social Media Manager- LinkedIn

Aug 2025 – Present · 7 mos · New Delhi, Delhi, India · On-site

My duties include managing the official LinkedIn page of the research lab as a fun and creative extension of my work as an NLP & LLM researcher. Beyond conducting research, I enjoy curating and publishing engaging content that showcases our projects, milestones, and breakthroughs to a wider professional audience. This role lets me blend technical depth with storytelling—translating complex research into accessible and impactful posts. I also plan posting schedules, optimize for visibility, and track engagement metrics, all while adding a human touch to our lab’s digital presence. It’s both a responsibility and a creative outlet that helps amplify the visibility of our work in the academic and professional community.

Researcher- NLP & LLM for Low Resource Languages

Jun 2024 – Present · 1 yr 9 mos · New Delhi, Delhi, India · On-site

I have been focusing on developing foundational LLM-based Seq2Seq models for low-resource tribal languages like Bhili. My work includes Instruction Fine-Tuning and designing novel pretraining methods such as GARuD, with planned extensions to Gondi and Mundari through m-GARuD. I have contributed to the development of in-house Seq2Seq architectures—spanning LSTMs, Attention models, Mixture of Experts, Transformers, and RoFormers—alongside experimentation with autoregressive GPT variants enhanced with RoPE and Mixture of Experts. By integrating advanced multilingual models such as NLLB and mT5, I have improved CHRF scores from 30 to 55. In addition, I have been leading a team of interns and research assistants, managing the end-to-end research lifecycle from dataset curation and model training to evaluation, deployment, and dissemination. The outcomes of this research have been successfully presented to the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, including Hon’ble Union Minister Shri Jual Oram Ji and Hon’ble Minister of State Shri Durga Das Uikey Ji.
