Projects
Paraphrase Generation github.com/dev-chauhan/PQG-pytorch
IIT Kanpur, Supervisor-Badri Narayan Patro Aug. 2019 - Dec. 2019
• Studied the state-of-the-art-method for paraphrase
generation on Quora Question Pairs(QQP)
dataset, which uses sequential encoder-decoder
model trained using pair-wise discriminator loss
[www.aclweb.org/anthology/C18-1230.pdf].
• Implemented above described using machine learning
framework PyTorch in python.
• Generated BLEU, ROUGE-L and METEOR scores with
plots of value of loss function during training and validation
for various experiments with architecture of this model on
QQP dataset.
• Used trained sentence embedding for sentiment analysis
over Stanford Sentiment Treebank (SST) dataset.
• Co-authored in journal paper (under revision) which
describes experiments done on state-of-the-art model for
paraphrase generation with their results and analysis.

Work Experience
NxtBig Software Labs Pvt. Ltd. Web Development Intern
Supervisor-Chandra Sekhar Kanteti May 2020 - Aug. 2020
16 text-based pdfs using pdfrw python library.
• Implemented a rule-based engine for extracting filtered
information necessary for filing of income tax returns (ITR)
from a variety of Form-16 pdfs using open source libraries of
python. [github.com/dev-chauhan/pdfext]
• Tested two product solutions for Helpdesk software for
integrating with main portal, viz., UVdesk and Supportpal,
by carrying out necessary installation, configuration, and
integration with the application.
• Learned about using facebook and twitter api’s to reach
customers on social media, which is used to configure
communication channels for Supportpal help desk software.
