## About
Greetings ! I am a Phd candidate in the Department of Computer Science at [Stony Brook University, USA](http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu) and am a member of the [Data Science Lab](https://sites.google.com/site/datascienceslab/). 
I am advised by [Prof.<NAME>](http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/). My research interests lie at the intersection of Text Mining, Machine Learning and Computational Social Science.
At Data Science Lab I have worked on several projects with a focus on representation learning geared towards Natural Language Processing. My thesis focuses on developing statistical models for detecting and analyzing linguistic variation in social media [pdf](http://viveksck.github.io/data/vivek_proposal.pdf). <commit_msg>About<commit_after>---
