Pranav Nair
Hi There!
I am Pranav, currently pursuing my integrated Bachelors and Masters of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi. For the past few years I have been working in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval with my interests aliging with knowledge-driven AI, low resource NLP and training-parameter efficient transfer learning.
I have previously worked on machine commonsene, summarization and low-resource NLP at the NLPRL, IIT (BHU) Varanasi. Currently, at the Language Technologies group, University of Hamburg I am working on analyzing the effect of output vocabulary token length for SPARQL semantic parsing with prompt tuning and finetuning. Previously I have worked here on end-to-end KGQA and knowledge graphs.
Also, I am working on zero-shot abstractive summarization with prompt tuning at the IR Lab, IIT (BHU) Varanasi.
Here is the link to my CV.
