ML-based IPV Risk Factors among Homeless in the US (JIV'24)
Predicting Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration among Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Seven U.S. Cities Using Interpretable Machine Learning .
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Arizona State University (ASU) under the supervision of Prof. Subbarao Kambhampati. Before ASU, I pursued M.S by thesis and B.Tech (Honours) in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT-Hyderabad.
My passion is to build robust goal-centric decision-making frameworks that are capable of learning and reasoning. I am particularly interested in building these frameworks to address problems in the areas of privacy, public health (addictions, dietetics, and maternal health (IPV)), and Finance (crowdfunding). Some of the primary challenges in building these models often include -- handling unstructured and messy data, data that might be biased and integrating data from different sources of information. Once structure is established in the dataset, interpreting the credibility of the data and extracting causality between different data patterns, and providing explanations for the insights obtained for decision-making are the primary goals of my research.
