About Me 🧑🏽
Hi!🙋🏽♂️ My name is Ashutosh Baheti. I am a Computer Science PhD student working with Prof. Alan Ritter. I am a graduate student at Georgia Tech since Fall 2020. Previously, received a master’s in Computer Science from The Ohio State University. I believe language is one of the most powerful tools invented by mankind. Giving computers the power of language will automate many menial jobs and accelerate innovation. My research interests are Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Generation (NLG), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). My current research focuses on open-domain Dialog Systems aka chatbots and problems related to them.
Before joining my PhD program, I was a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research (MSR), India for one year. I worked with Dr. Monojit Choudhury on word-level language identification of code-switched text. Before that, I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
