Manan Suri
Computer Engineering Senior, Interested in AI, Data, and Software
Hi, I’m Manan 👋
I am a Computer Engineering undergraduate at Netaji Subhas University of Technology
, New Delhi. My academic journey has been marked by consistent excellence, earning me the prestigious CVSPK Scholar distinction, placing me consistenly within the top 5% of my cohort.
With a keen interest in AI, Data, and Software, I’ve embarked on a dynamic professional journey that reflects my passion and dedication. One of my recent achievements includes serving as a Data Science for Social Good Fellow
at the University of Warwick
during the summer of 2023. Collaborating closely with the Algorithmic Transparency Institute, I delved into the critical domain of greenwashing and greenmessaging. Working alongside luminaries like Dr. Geoffrey Supran from the University of Miami and Dr. John Cook from the University of Melbourne, I contributed to fostering transparency in this pivotal area.
I’ve also had the privilege to contribute meaningfully to the startup landscape, particularly at the dynamic startup Scalenut. In this role, I had the opportunity to harness the capabilities of Language Model technologies, working on tasks such as document ranking and retrieval functions. One notable accomplishment was my involvement in creating a high-performing fact annotator, a modest contribution that aimed to enhance the startup’s offerings.
Research has been a cornerstone of my journey, and I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with distinguished minds in academia. At Northeastern University
, I worked alongside Dr. Divya Chaudhary and Dr. Ian Gorton, managing and guiding four research teams. Together, we delved into crucial areas such as Depressive Tendencies, Trigger Warnings, and Fine-grained Sexism Detection.
My research endeavors extended to the MIDAS Lab at IIIT Delhi
, where, under the guidance of Dr. Rajiv Ratan Shah, I explored the intricate interplay of speech disfluency, conversational context, and user history for the vital task of hate speech detection.
Currently, I am privileged to be under the mentorship of Dr. Dinesh Manocha at the GAMMA Lab, University of Maryland, College Park
. My current works encompass Implicit Hate Speech, pioneering Data Augmentation techniques for Low Resource Complex Named Entity Recognition, and the innovative realm of text-guided document editing.
