Hi! I am Sid, a Software Engineer at Google Gemini.
I recently completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Rochester advised by Aaron White.
My Ph.D. focussed on extracting information about events from document collections. During my Ph.D., I also worked on building models for extracting other types of semantic information related to events – event triggers, event chronology, event duration etc.
My papers are listed on the publications page. Full list of publications can be found at Semantic Scholar/Google Scholar
