Introduction

Name

Dhananjay Kulkarni

Who I am and Why am I here

I'm a second year student in VLIS.

I'm here for the machine learning and statistical techniques used for language tasks. Interested in Bayesian techniques.

Super Skills

Give me a language, and a task; I'll code.

Mathematics, especially algebra is my favorite pass time.
