Prof. Animesh Mukherjee and I are actively looking for a full-time joint PhD student to work on multi-lingual multi-modal representation and reasoning. The student is expected to start with us by Autumn 2022. Please apply though here, and send me an email.

I am also looking for motivated Ph.D students who are interested in pursuing their thesis in the exciting juncture of classical and statistical AI. For prospective students, please see answers to FAQs below (to be updated).

FAQs for Propsective Students

  1. What are the projects that you will be working on?
    The long-term goal of our lab is to achieve transparent Human-aware AI systems through Logic and Reasoning. We want the AI systems to be able to reason-in-the-wild and do so transparently for the end-users with whom it is expected to interact. Technically, we will work on the fundamental challenges faced by current neural and probabilistic logical systems in achieving such properties. A few of them are:
    • How do we reason transparently? What does it mean to reason transparently?
    • How do we reason with noisy and incomplete knowledge sources? Can we utilize semi-structured (or more natural) forms of knowledge representation?
    • How do we elicit missing knowledge?
    • How can human-in-the-loop help?

    See the project page and publications to see how solving such technical challenges may affect a range of applications – from NLP, Vision, to automated mathematical reasoning.

  2. How do I contact you?
    If you are a IIT KGP student, please send an inquiry to my email. Kindly mention which program you are enrolled in. If you are not a KGP student, kindly visit the IIT Kharagpur website to see how to enroll in the Ph.D or Masters program.
