<p>My research focus is on making relevant content accessible using information retrieval, information
extraction, summarization, and personalization technologies. Almost everything related to unstructured
data
analytics interests me and I am more keen on textual information access across languages and sources
(web,
enterprise, social etc). I am also interested in cloud computing, large scale software development,
software
architecture and software engineering education.</p>

<div data-aos="fade-up" class="row my-5" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">
<p>Prof. Vasudeva Varma and his team developed India’s first cross language search engine (webKhoj) which
led to a major nation-wide initiative called CLIA (supported by MeitY)</p>
</div>
<div data-aos="fade-up" class="row my-5" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">
<p>He has been developing multi-document summarization technology since 2005 which proved to be world’s best
summarization system during 2006-2010 in international competitions in the form of DUC (Document
Understanding Conferences) and TAC (Text Analysis Conferences) conducted by NIST, USA.</p>
</div>
<div data-aos="fade-up" class="row my-5" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">
<p>This summarization technology was transferred to the industry and start-up and resulted in close to 100
research publications.</p>
</div>
<div data-aos="fade-up" class="row my-5" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">
<p>Several variations of the summarization technology was used in Patent search applications (IRF2010),
squishy question answering systems (TAC-2008), Knowledge Base Population tasks (TAC2009), Cross Language
summarization (CLEF-2008) etc.</p>
</div>
