I will take this oppurtunity to introduce a student from the Intelligent Information Systems Laboratory. Saurabh Kataria is a third year student in IST and works on image processing and topic modeling. While Saurabh is interested in designing and adapting topic modelling algorithms such as LDA, LSA, pLSI, n-topic grams etc, I am more interested in how these topic modeling algorithms can be applied in information systems to aid user information seeking needs. Saurabh is also part of the chemxseer project and works on extracting data from journal images such as plots. He has published his research in AAAI and JCDL as well as attended these conferences.
On a more personal side, Saurabh is my roomate and friend. His hometown is Jind, India which is pretty close to where I come from. He has a bachelor's degree from IT-BHU, Varanasi, India. He is a great guy and interested in sports such as cricket where he is classified as an all-rounder (a person who bowls and bats).
