Background
  • Machine learning researcher focused on improving the reasoning abilities of AI systems
  • Combines the generalizable capabilities of large language models (LLMs) with the principled nature of causal reasoning
  • Works on applying causal AI to scientific discovery in medicine, climate science, and engineering
  • Develops open-source tools like DoWhy and DiCE to enhance AI model reliability through causality
  • Currently excited about 'Axiomatic Training', a framework for real-time correction of LLM outputs
