Pradeep Dasigi

I'm a senior research scientist on the AllenNLP team at the Allen Institute for AI.

I work towards natural language understanding, lately with the goal of building question answering systems that help people quickly access the information they seek. I am also excited about reading comprehension, executable semantic parsing, and efficiently collecting datasets for all these tasks. Checkout my papers for an up-to-date overview of my research.

I have a PhD from the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I wrote a thesis on Knowledge-Aware Natural Language Understanding, and a Masters degree from Columbia University.

I am a frequent host on the NLP Highlights podcast along with other members of the AllenNLP team.
