Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are the two areas of research I am attracted to the most. My Ph.D. thesis constitutes a model for extracting a summary from a single document based on polarized sentiments, a generic baseline for evaluating automatic summarization and keyphrase extraction algorithms, and a relativized scale for assessing machine-generated summaries. I have active projects in these areas, such as: named entity extraction from Bengali text and corresponding challenges.
With my teaching experience at different liberal arts schools, I developed an interest in CS-Pedagogy. I like to explore various teaching mechanics in CS classrooms and assess the impacts/reactions of the students.
