Worked on projects organized under SocialSim, a DARPA-funded initiative with the goal of providing high-fildelity simulations ofonline behavior in order to analyze and counter hostile narratives.– Participated in the creation of the GOLEM corpus, a dataset of ∼25K news articles annotated for motif analysis in narratives. (Work published at LREC-Coling 2024).– Evaluated performance of Large Language Models at identifying unknown motifs in text to establish it as a challenging… Show more Worked on projects organized under SocialSim, a DARPA-funded initiative with the goal of providing high-fildelity simulations ofonline behavior in order to analyze and counter hostile narratives.– Participated in the creation of the GOLEM corpus, a dataset of ∼25K news articles annotated for motif analysis in narratives.

Discovered several novel ways of decomposing Riemannian submersions where the base manifold is locally product-Riemannian into disjoint parts.– Established conditions for several properties of the resulting distributions including integrability, pluriharmonicity and total-geodesicity involving O‘Neill tensors.– Work was presented at AMRPU conference.

Continued work on constrained transfer learning started during Summer 2021.

Worked on the development of a mathematical framework for transfer learning with the preservation of constraints under the supervision of Drs. Asuman Ozdaglar and Alireza Fallah.– Designed test for empirical evaluation of potential training methods for constrained transfer learning.– Explored minimax formulation using constraint functions.– Presented poster at MSRP conference.
