Research Themes

My research is motivated by understanding the computational foundations of intelligent behavior, often through the lens of natural language. I am excited about intelligence amplification — building computational models that would augment human experience in a mutually interdependent fashion. The dominant majority of my research is aligned with natural language processing (ACL, NAACL, EMNLP), machine learning (ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML) and artificial intelligence (AAAI, IJCAI).

Here are several themes I am interested in:

• General-purpose models: AlphaGo may be the world champion at Go, although it can't solve any other problem! How can we build models that generalize a broader scope of tasks, abilities, modalities, or environments?

• Self-supervised representation learning: The AI literature has found powerful ways to build rich representations of the world by utilizing cheap signals available in the wild (web data, physical environment, etc.). How can we make these algorithms more effective and efficient (in terms of data or computation cost)? How can we make them robust to distributional drifts in data, e.g., low-data regimes or adversarial settings? How can we scale them up to various modalities or forms of communication/interaction?

• Reasoning and problem-solving: I view “reasoning” as the process of using “reasons” to explain or justify decisions. How can we enable machines to communicate via reasons, for a broad-ranging spectrum of tasks? How can we make this process “verifiable” or “explainable” to humans? Can we build systems that can recourse upon a mistake?

• Interaction, communication, and coordination: Can we engineer AI systems to effectively engage, interact, and communicate with humans and other AI systems for the purpose of, for example, coordination?

• AI ↔ humans: The ultimate goal of our work is to benefit humans! How should we engineer the interface between AI and machines? What forms of interaction are most effective and meaningful for humans? How can we make AI systems more transparent and accountable to humans? Can we turn such transparency into a truly democratic oversight of systems, their algorithmic biases and mistakes? How should we think about personalizing AI systems to their users?
