My name is Manash, and I'm a machine learning engineer with a strong focus on NLP and Text to Speech. Currently, I'm actively working on TTS and NLP for Indian languages. I hold a masters degree in computer engineering and have a deep passion for machine learning. Before my current role as an ML Engineer at Paisabazaar, I worked as a Research Associate (NLP) at IIT BHU under the Bhashini Program, an initiative of MeitY, Government of India.
During this time, I:
- Developed a Python tool for Universal Semantic Representation (USR) of Hindi sentences, integrating POS tagging, Named Entity Recognition, and Dependency Parsing.
- Trained a state-of-the-art Hindi POS tagger using the mT5-base model.
- Fine-tuned mT5 for predicting missing vibhaktis and detecting complex predicates in Hindi sentences.
- Designed a sequence-to-sequence framework using mT5-large to reconstruct Hindi sentences from their linearized USR graph representations.
