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.
Superpowers

Random Notes
- Once ran a triathlon with a broken toe bone, just to look better than an MTV VJ right behind me, who was being captured on camera all along.
