Hi! My name is Thanmay Jayakumar, and I am an AI Resident at AI4Bhārat, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India.

I developed my interest in Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) during my undergraduate at IvLabs, the Robotics & AI Lab of VNIT Nagpur, where I reviewed and implemented state-of-the-art architectures.

Apart from NLP, linguistics also captivates me. I have done significant study of various languages and their morphology, such as German, Persian, Indonesian, Chinese and several Indic languages.
I aspire to alleviate language barriers by improving tools for multilingual communication.
