Shubhalaxmi Mukherjee

I am a PhD candidate in the Interactive Intelligence Group at TU Delft, supervised by Pradeep Murukannaiah and Catholijn Jonker. I obtained my master's degree in Mathematics from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune, with a thesis on partial differential equations. I am part of the HIPPO Lab at TU Delft, which aims at developing human centred AI methods. My research focuses on developing Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to perform complex reasoning tasks over textual data. Complex, multi-step reasoning abilities is at the heart of NLP tasks like claim verification and question answering, among others. The reliability of a model's output in these tasks depends on its ability to justify the output, which also remains a significant challenge.
