I'm a PhD student in AI/NLP at MILA & McGill in Montreal with Siva Reddy, focusing on language grounding.

My research interests in the space of language grounding roughly are:

• approaches inspired from cognitive science/child-learning: language emergence and acquisition, theory of mind, curriculum learning, human-in-the-loop/learning from interaction...
• persistent (embodied) agents
• grounded models for text-only NLP tasks
• pragmatics/dialogue

Here is a mindmap version of my research interests from spring of 2021. Note: I have not directly worked on the majority of these topics yet!

I also have a personal life on this site such as philosophy or personal reflections.
