Research interests
I am interested in different aspects of machine learning with emphasis on probabilistic viewpoint to machine learning. In specific I am interested in the ensemble way of learning and the various questions that it throws up.

PhD Thesis
Bayesian locally weighted online learning

Software
Matlab implementation of UCS
Matlab implementation of MOE based rule learner (batch mode)

Literary activism

The poor sisters of Orissa have no saris; they are in rags. Yet they have not lost all sense of decency; but, I assure you, we have. We are naked in spite of our clothing and they are clothed in spite of their nakedness. --Mahatma Gandhi (1927)
