Maharshi Gor
NLP Researcher | Engineer

I am a third year Computer Science PhD student at the University of Maryland, College Park, currently working with Tianyi Zhou and Jordan Boyd-Graber. I am a member of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) Lab at UMIACS.
I am broadly interested in Natural Language Understanding and Efficient learning methods; particularly around Question Answering (QA), Semantic structure understanding, Model Robustness and Interpretability.
I’ve spent some time working at Google Research where I collaborated with Brain and several Language Research teams, with focus on Model Interpretation and Analysis for Question Answering, Semi-Structured Text Understanding and Retrieval-augmented Language models for long-context understanding.
In the past, I have also worked on some of the Computer vision and Machine Learning problems like Human motion sequence modeling, Generative and Representation Learning and Adversarial Machine Learning.
In my free time, I like to engage in social deception board games. I also very much like to play Magic the Gathering :)
