Vaibhav Adlakha

Visiting Researcher

AI Frontier Research

I am a Visiting Researcher at ServiceNow Research and I recently completed my MSc in Computer Science at McGill University and Mila under the supervision of Siva Reddy. I am about to begin my PhD and my current research interests are information extraction, question answering, and conversational agents. I am interested in creating systems that not only can read documents, but also can comprehend the information within, to answer our questions and converse with us.
