I’m a research scientist at Allen Institute for AI (AI2) working with Yejin Choi. Currently, I co-lead the safety and post-training effort at Ai2 to build (OLMo): a highly capable and truly open LLM to advance AI.

Besides this, I work on understanding the limits of Transformers and their inner workings. Check out “Faith and Fate” to learn about the limits of Transformers on reasoning tasks. I also work on studying alignment in LLMs; checkout “Roadmap to Pluralistic Alignment”, “Finegrained RLHF”, and “RewardBench” the first evaluation tool for reward models..

My work has been featured in TechCrunch, LeMonde, The Economist, and Science News.

I was 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.
