I’m a research scientist at Allen Institute for AI working with Yejin Choi and the Mosaic team. Currently, my work revolves around three main axes:

  • Science of LMs: Understanding the limits of Transformers and their inner workings.
  • Safety of LMs: Make LMs safer by aligning them with human values and ethical principles.

In the past, I earned my PhD from the University of Alberta and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute with Osmar Zaiane. I was also fortunate to work with brilliant researchers in the field. I have worked with Siva Reddy at Mila/McGill, with Hannah Rashkin, Tal Linzen, David Reitter, Diyi Yang, and Tom Kwiatkowski at Google Research NYC and have worked with Alessandro Sordoni, and Goeff Gordon at Microsoft Research Montreal.
