Research Experience
Research interests include learning under sample selection bias (domain adaptation, transfer learning) and annotation bias; learning under limited data, continual learning, semi-supervised and weakly-supervised machine learning applied to cross-domain and cross-language natural language processing; multimodal learning, including learning at the language and vision or speech interface and learning from human data; fortuitous supervision to enable variety-space aware natural language understanding.
Background
