Postdoctoral Investigator • MOSAIC • Allen Institute for AI
My research focuses on studying biases in datasets and models. Good biases, such as structural inductive biases help language understanding - check out my PhD thesis on these. But biases can be undesirable, e.g. spurious correlations commonly found in crowd-sourced, large-scale datasets due to annotation artifacts, or social prejudices of human annotators and task designers (coming soon!).
Previously…
I obtained my PhD from Carnegie Mellon University in May 2019, where I was advised by Noah Smith and Chris Dyer. During most of my PhD I was a visiting student at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Update I am looking for academic positions in Winter / Spring 2021!
