Aniruddha (Ani) Kembhavi

I am a senior research scientist in the Perceptual Reasoning and Interaction Research (PRIOR) team at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2) in sunny Seattle. Prior to AI2, I spent five years at Microsoft Bing, building large scale machine learning systems in the Image & Video Search Relevance team. I grew up in Pune, India where I obtained by Bachelors in Engineering at the College Of Engineering Pune (COEP). I got my Ph.D. at the University of Maryand, College Park under the supervision of Prof. Larry S. Davis. My research interests include textual and visual question answering, learning through interaction and collaboration and visual reasoning.
