About
My research interest lies in the solving the fundamental bounded recall problem in Neural Information Retrieval and its application in complex question asnwering. Prior to that, I have worked on the explainbility of graph machine learning models.

Interests
- Information Retrieval, Neural Reranking, and Complex Reasoning
- Interpretability in Graph Neural Networks
