My research interests broadly span three areas and more specifically their intersection: human language, mind/cognition and artificial intelligence. Technically the research area is known as Natural Language Processing (NLP), could be further described as a crossroad of formal Linguistics, machine intelligence and cognitive Science. I have been working on language technologies since last 9 years.

I am always working on many things. I am interested in almost every aspects of NLP as listed below:
