About Me digg

Summary

Hi there! My name is Pravin Paratey and I’m a graduate from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay where I did my Bachelors in Computer Science. Following that, I worked in a number of organizations building both Organic and Vertical search engines. I was involved in building Crawlers, Parsers and Indexers.

I have also mentored IIT Bombay startups, helping them with Product Architecture and choice of Programming Language/Software/Tools.

I’m currently based in London, United Kingdom.

Building Search

I have worked with Lucene for 5 years and have used Solr since September 2008. I have built vertical search solutions for domains like Books Search, Video Search, Sport Search. I have written both closed and open crawlers and data scrapers and data aggregators.

Natural Language Processing

My research interests are in the domain of Natural Language Processing and Information Extraction. I have built a content understanding engine for text ads, an Indic language to English transliteration system, an auto-syllabification tool for devanagari, a natural language to UNL enconvertor, document classification tools and document summarizers.

Volunteer Work

I enjoy teaching and I have taken guest lectures on Linux, Networking, Introducing C#, Natural Language Processing and Probability theory.

I also volunteered with the Mumbai division of Yuva Unstoppable where I taught Math to children from the 4th-7th grades.

  • Vertical search engines
  • Transliteration engines
  • Did You Mean modules
  • Recommendation engines

Hi Pravin,

I’m Mihika, from Text 100 Public Relations and I’m mailing you on behalf of one of our clients, Lenovo.
Lenovo will launch shortly a new range of super-slim consumer PCs that include stylish notebooks in the premium segment; a sleek, versatile and affordable new all-in-one PC; budget-friendly notebooks and a brand new netbook. Given the nature of the products and the technology that has gone into it, we decided that the best way to communicate this launch is using the power of social media.
We scanned through the blogosphere and selected you for Lenovo’s first blogger meet in Mumbai. This meeting would be devoid of any corporate jargon or speeches and will be a highly informal meeting, between a very select set of bloggers and product managers from Lenovo.
Needless to add, the grub is on us.
Please do let me know if you’d be interested in this meeting. I’ll send you further details once I hear from you. Thanks!

Regards,
Mihika Shankar
