Jan-Philipp Franken

I currently work on reasoning (e.g., social, causal) in both humans and language models. During my PhD, I've worked on concept learning and social learning in multi-player games.

Alex Tamkin

My research focuses on unsupervised learning: how can we understand and guide systems that learn general-purpose representations of the world?

Julia White

I am interested in the development of pragmatic and adaptive natural language generation algorithms for interactive dialogue systems.

Jesse Mu

My research interests are in operationalizing language for machine learning. This involves (1) building machines that can learn from (and teach with) language and interactive dialog, and (2) using language as a structured and compositional guide for learning.

Gabriel Poesia

My research goal is to advance the way we interact with computers, taking inspiration from how humans communicate and collaborate. In particular, I’m interested in making computers capable of handling ambiguous inputs and specifications by leveraging prior knowledge, context and interaction.

Rose Wang

My research interests are in unsupervised learning and multiagent systems.

Ben Prystawski

I am interested in understanding how language enables humans to work together effectively. My current research focuses on indirect language use and teaching.

Kanishk Gandhi

I am interested in social cognition; how we can build machines that interact with, learn from and communicate with others.

Eric Zelikman

I am excited about how we can build models that are able to reason better by learning to model the world and leverage structural understanding, such as in multi-step planning, intermediate rationales, object-centric visual representations, or theory of mind and social reasoning.

Dilip Arumugam

My research is aimed at understanding the key ingredients of sample-efficient reinforcement learning. Currently, I examine how information theory might be a useful tool for facilitating this understanding, with a focus on abstractions and natural language.

Shyamal Buch

I'm working on methods to better understand the structure of events in vision and language, with a particular emphasis on video applications and language grounding.

Lauren Gillespie

My research aims to apply cutting-edge ML technologies to climate change-related ecological problems in concert with developing better ML methods for working with complex ecological and genomic data.

Joy Hsu

I’m interested in visual reasoning, and creating visual understanding models that are generalists.

Sidd Karamcheti

I'm interested in natural language processing in application to robotics, specifically looking at methods for adapting to users online, and learning through interaction.

Elisa Kreiss

I use probabilistic and neural network models to understand human language production and comprehension. In particular, I concentrate on the role context plays in this process.

Ali Malik

My research interests are in probabilistic reasoning, algorithms, and building intelligent systems that help humans learn.

Dhara Yu

I’m interested in studying how evolutionary pressures shape the features of language and how language facilitates knowledge transmission, in both humans and machines.
