I am Vikash Kumar Prasad, currently a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Oklahoma, Norman Campus, with a research focus on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), bioinformatics, and data visualization under the guidance of Dr. Ji Hwan Park.
Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I dedicated nearly 5.5 years to Natural Language Processing (NLP). My most recent role, at Policybazaar, involved training a Large Language Model, BERT, from scratch for Hinglish and fine-tuning it for tasks such as entity recognition, question answering, and deep classification to provide valuable insights to insurance users.
