Research Experience
Translated Training Data for Hindi and Telugu, Montclair State University (with Prof. Libby Barak)
2026
- Translated the English BabyLM corpus into Hindi and Telugu with IndicTrans2 and trained GPT-BERT and GPT-Wee models (about 98M parameters) on 4× A100 GPUs with Hugging Face Accelerate.
- Published in the Proceedings of the Second BabyLM Workshop (ACL, 2026); corpora released on Hugging Face.
Monolingual and Multilingual Causal Models for Dravidian Languages, independent research
2026
- Trained five GPT-2 models from scratch: four monolingual models with 32K tokenizers and one joint model with a shared 64K tokenizer, on cleaned CC-100, Wikipedia, and Samanantar data.
- Monolingual models outperformed mGPT on sentiment classification and NER, and their tokenizers were more efficient in all four languages.
Fairness Regression Testing for LLM Updates, independent research
2026
- Built a longitudinal evaluation of 8 release transitions across 4 providers and 7 bias benchmarks (12,789 filtered responses), measuring sentiment, toxicity, and stereotype drift.
Dialect Variation in Telugu and Hindi, ongoing
2026 – present
- Studying how regional and dialect variation affects tokenization, representations, and transfer in language models.
