About SANDHI

SANDHI Research Lab is an independent research organization advancing artificial intelligence and computational methods through interdisciplinary research.

The name

Sandhi (सन्धि) is a Sanskrit word meaning joining, connection, union, or junction. It names our core belief: meaningful discoveries often emerge where different ideas, disciplines, and perspectives meet.

“Truth is one; the wise speak of it in many ways.”Ṛgveda 1.164.46

Mission

To investigate meaningful questions in artificial intelligence and computational science, develop new methods, and contribute rigorous, reproducible knowledge to the research community.

Vision

A research community where fields do not work in isolation, and where the connections between vision, language, learning, and science lead to understanding that none of them could reach alone.

What defines us

We do not want to be defined by a particular model, architecture, or technology. We want to be defined by the questions we pursue and the knowledge we contribute.

How we work

  1. Identify meaningful and challenging research questions.
  2. Study existing knowledge and find the gaps.
  3. Develop new models, methods, algorithms, and systems.
  4. Experiment systematically across datasets, models, and settings.
  5. Evaluate rigorously through reproducible experiments and meaningful benchmarks.
  6. Collaborate across research areas and with researchers beyond SANDHI.
  7. Publish through papers, technical reports, datasets, benchmarks, and open-source tools.
  8. Contribute knowledge that the wider community can build on.

Values

Curiosity
We follow questions, not trends.
Rigor
We distrust results we cannot explain.
Openness
We share methods, code, and data wherever we can.
Reproducibility
Every claim should be checkable by someone else.
Collaboration
We think better together, across fields.
Contribution
We measure our work by what it adds.
