Welcome to KDM Lab

Knowledge Discovery & Management Lab (KDM Lab) started out at DA-IICT as a part of the research efforts by Prof. Sourish Dasgupta and his students and collaborators in 2015. The lab broadly works on natural language understanding (NLU) and the evaluation of state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) w.r.t. their reasoning and personalization capabilities. We love designing theoretical frameworks and experimental setups for LLM evaluation. We also love dabbling with emerging methodologies, such as neuro-symbolic models, and understanding how that can be applied to specific NLU tasks. We highly emphasize lateral thinking (thereby creativity) and during problem-solving love connecting the dots across pretty much everything - linguistics. economics, political science, social sciences, and even food! Our motto is “Don’t bring the baggage and boredom of specific schools of thought!”
