Hi, I'm Amogh Mannekote! π
I'm a PhD student at the University of Florida. My research lies at the intersection of Dialogue and HCI. I also like to build and contribute to open-source software tools and libraries for ML engineers and researchers.
- π± Iβm actively looking for Research Internship openings for Summer 2023.
- π¬ Ask me about anything, I am happy to help. I am very much open to new research ideas and collaborations.

Research
In my research, I'm interested in answering the following question:
How to leverage large language models and transfer learning techniques to bootstrap dialogue systems for understudied dialogue paradigms such as negotiation, collaboration, and tutoring?
Open-Source
- nonechucks: nonechucks is is a library that provides wrappers for PyTorch's datasets, samplers, and transforms to allow for dropping unwanted or invalid samples dynamically.
- Rasa Frames: Most dialogue state trackers only support one value per slot. Rasa Frames is a proof-of-concept fork of Rasa Core that supports multiple frames that allows for multiple values per slot. This is helpful, for example, when the user is comparing two flights.
