PROJECTS

  1. [Google] Query recommendations in Play Store Search Home

    As part of the Google Play Search team, I contributed to developing query recommendation algorithms aimed at improving user engagement and discovery within the Play Store. This project focused on leveraging user behavior data and query semantics to provide personalized, high-quality query suggestions.

  2. [Google] On-Device Universal Search in Pixel System Intelligence Team

    While working with the Pixel System Intelligence team, I helped design and implement a universal search system for (more than 10 million) Pixel devices. This system provided seamless, on-device content retrieval across apps and services, ensuring speed, privacy, and efficiency.

  3. [Google] Query understanding in web search

    I contributed to improving query understanding in Google’s Web Search team. My work focused on leveraging natural language processing and semantic analysis to better interpret user intent, ultimately improving search result relevance.

  4. [Yahoo] Salient terms extrations for Image articles

    During my internship as a researcher at Yahoo! Research Labs, I worked on extracting salient terms from image articles as part of a broader effort in content understanding. These extracted salient terms were subsequently utilized for retrieval and scoring during serving time, enhancing the relevance and accuracy of content-based operations. Following the successful completion of the internship, the position transitioned into a year-long academic collaboration between Yahoo! Research Labs and IIT Bombay. As part of this collaboration, I was awarded a research grant of INR 1,00,000. You can learn more about this work from the presentation.

  5. [IITB] Document Summarization

    At IIT Bombay, I worked on automatic document summarization using machine learning and natural language processing techniques. This project aimed to generate concise and accurate summaries of large text documents, aiding quick information retrieval.

  6. [IITB] Statistical Machine Translation

    I was involved in research on statistical machine translation at IIT Bombay. The focus was on developing and improving translation models for Indian languages, utilizing statistical techniques to enhance accuracy and fluency in translations.
