I do research in Machine Learning on various interesting aspects surrounding Large Language Models (LLMs). My work focuses on understanding and evaluating the abilities and limitations of LLMs with respect to their generalization, scaling, or reasoning behaviours. My hope is that the knowledge derived from my analysis works will help design more robust systems capable of better out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, and eventually of exhibiting superintelligence.
Keywords: generalization, reasoning, scaling, evaluation, safety, analysis and interpretability
I graduated with B.E. (Hons.) in Computer Science from BITS Pilani - Goa Campus, India in 2020. For more details about my background, refer to my CV. If you'd like to chat with me about my work or research in general, feel free to reach out!
Our Thoughtology paper investigating the reasoning chains-of-thoughts of the Large Reasoning Model DeepSeek-R1 is out!
Our paper on AI safety investigating the transferability of adversarial triggers in LLMs has been accepted to TACL!
I'm a visiting graduate student at the Simons Institute at UC Berkeley as a part of their special year on LLMs and Transformers.
Our paper proposing SafeArena, a benchmark for evaluating the safety of autonomous web agents is out!
Our paper proposing the CHASE method to automatically generate challenging synthetic data for evaluating LLMs is out!
Presented my AI2 internship work on evaluating code generation in LLMs at NAACL 2024 in Mexico City!
