Atula Tejaswi

I am a Graduate Student studying Master's in Computer Science at UT Austin, supervised by Prof. Eunsol Choi. I received my Bachelor's Degree in CS from Manipal Institute of Technology. I have interned at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore under the supervision of Prof. Aditya Gopalan and also at ETH Zurich with Prof. Mrinmaya Sachan's lab.

Previously, I was a researcher with Conversational AI and Social Analytics Lab, University of Marburg led by Prof. Lucie Flek. In the summer of 2022, I was a Mitacs Globalink research intern at Université du Québec à Montréal, supervised by Prof. Marie-Jean Meurs. I was also an undergraduate researcher at Project MANAS, the official AI and Robotics team of Manipal Institute of Technology.

My general interests are all things Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Reinforcement Learning. I am interested in building models that are efficient, can generalize better, and adapt to new scenarios through a higher level understanding of their environment. Currently I am working on efficient domain adaptation of LLMs.

In the application side, I am interested in a broad range of domains including Computational Social Science, Multimodal Learning, and Privacy Preserving Deep Learning. I have been fortunate to contribute to a wide range of research directions, and my work in these areas has been published at venues such as ACL, AISTATS, EMNLP, and ACM SIGIR.
