Research Interests

My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, sequence-to-sequence modeling, and deep learning reliability. Specifically, I am focused on the empirical evaluation and fine-tuning of pre-trained language models (including Transformers, BERT, and T5 architectures) for low-resource languages, leveraging parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT/LoRA) and context-aware decoding methodologies.

Beyond sequence architectures, I seek to explore how structural generalization and Bayesian frameworks can be integrated within probabilistic graphical models to characterize uncertainty in unstructured datasets, ultimately aiming to enhance the robustness, cross-domain transferability, and evaluation standards of deep representation models under data-constrained regimes.
