Hello!

I’m Shashank Siripragada. I’m a Graduate student at Northeastern Univeristy, Boston.

Prior to joining NEU, I worked as a Research Fellow at CVIT, IIIT Hyderabad where I was advised by Dr. C.V. Jawahar and Dr. Vinay P. Namboodiri. At CVIT, I was involved in ongoing efforts to improve Multilingual Neural Machine Translation (MNMT) systems and to curate parallel corpora to aid MNMT progress for low-resourced Indian languages. More details about the project here.

Prior to joining CVIT as a Research Fellow, I worked at PrimEra as a Data Scientist where I built predictive models for early detection and intervention in case of patients at risk of certain diseases or adverse clinical outcomes using patient Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. Beyond modelling, I built comprehensive dashboards to track Insurance Claims and Denials at enterprise level.

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in 2017 from IIIT Hyderabad.
