Excited to announce DEXTER: A complex QA benchmark with Avishek Anand and Deepali for evaluating off-the shelf retrieval and LLM reasoning given the context (RAG setup). arxiv.org/abs/2406.17158 Our benchmark involves diverse aspects of complexity

Can’t believe it’s already our last lecture. Avishek Anand talks about Explainable Information Retrieval. #ESSIR24

Today for poster session 3 from 11:30 to 13:00, at Hall C4-9 #2607, I will present our paper with Harrie Oosterhuis and Avishek Anand about local feature selection for interpretable ML. Join me to discuss building intrinsically interpretable models, and the pitfalls previous work fell into.

Excited to announce that our work (Sourangshu Bhattacharya Kiran Purohit (on job market) Avishek Anand) "EXPLORA: Efficient Exemplar Subset Selection for Complex Reasoning" has been accepted to EMNLP 2024 main. We propose an algorithm for selecting task level exemplars for complex reasoning tasks. #EMNLP2024

I am also currently on academic job market. I am currently focusing on scaling retrieval and reasoning for complex knowledge intensive tasks. Please feel free to connect with me if these research goals interest you.

It was a great experience to present my work at the Glasgow IR group Glasgow IR Group. This talk was based on recently accepted papers -Quam (accepted at #WSDM2025) and SlideGAR (accepted at #ECIR2025) --done in collaboration with Sean MacAvaney Sean MacAvaney and Avishek Anand Avishek Anand

Excited for our Explainable IR tutorial at ECIR 2025 with @vvenky42 & Sourav Saha! Sunday morning ☀️: elixir-research-group.github.io/ECIR25-Explain… #ECIR2025 💡 #ExplainableIR

ECIR 2025 was a great success. Hoping to make a memorable #ECIR2026 with the dream team of Suzan Verberne 🤹‍♀️ and Zhaochun Ren … We will be preparing to welcoming all of us to Delft.

Had a great time at #ECIR2025! 🎉 in Lucca, Italy. I met some amazing researchers. Really enjoyed the company for my all collaborators venktesh , Sean MacAvaney and Avishek Anand. Thanks Vinay Setty for suggesting amazing food places in the city.
