Who am I and Why I am here

Hello there, I am Koul (Pronounced 'Cool') from Canada. I am a Masters students in the Very Large Information Systems program (between LTI & ISR).


Before joining CMU, I worked 4 years with Yahoo as a Research Engineer. I am here to gauge what new technologies can be build by combining NLP and Machine Learning.
