Vipula Rawte

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Artificial Intelligence Institute of UofSC (AIISC), where I am advised by Dr. Amit Sheth. My current area of research is Knowledge-infused Learning with Language Models.

I completed my Master's in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), NY, where I was advised by Dr. Mohammed J. Zaki. I worked in the area of financial text in collaboration with Dr. Aparna Gupta (Lally School of Management). I applied the modern Transformer-based models to solve the challenging problems in real-world unstructured textual data such as long company filings.

In the summer of 2018, I interned at IBM Research, Zürich. I worked on the NER problem for identifying software entitities from the IT technical reports, where I was supervised by Dr. Anika Schumann, Dr. Birgit Pfitzmann and Dr. Arun Kumar (IBM Research, India). Previously, I also worked at the Tetherless World Constellation under the supervision of Dr. Deborah L. McGuinness, where I worked on developing NanoMine Ontology for Polymer Nanocomposites.

I got my Master's in Computer Engineering from University of Mumbai (MU), India, where my thesis was focused in Semantic Web. I also got my Bachelor's in Information Technology from MU.
