Natural Language Processing (NLP) Reinforcement Learning Imitation Learning Foundation Models Interactive Decision-making

About

I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Kempner Institute and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Harvard University. My research focuses on problems at the intersection of machine learning and interactive decision-making, with the goal of improving the decision-making capabilities of foundation models. This involves studying, building, and improving techniques in reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and natural language processing.
