# About
Hi! I’m Aryaman, an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science in the Stanford NLP group. Currently, I am a final-year undergrad majoring in Computer Science and Linguistics at Georgetown University, where I am advised by Nathan Schneider. I also frequently collaborate with Ryan Cotterell at ETH Zürich.
My research interests are multilingual NLP, computational linguistics, and mechanistic interpretability. I also enjoy historical linguistics. Some fundamental questions I care about are:
- How do transformer language models work? Why are they so successful and alternatives (like RNNs) are not?
- How do multilingual language models distribute and share processing across languages?
- Can we formalise some ideas about human language from linguistics using information-theoretic methods?
- What is the linguistic history of the Indian subcontinent?
You’ll find more on my résumé and list of publications. I also have some small NLP-focused blog posts here.
