Academic Achievements
- Published papers on IntPhys 2, a benchmark for intuitive physics understanding, and on decomposed evaluations of geographic disparities in text-to-image models.
Research Experience
- Research Scientist at Facebook AI Research in NYC (since October 2018). Previously, she earned her PhD at New York University in the Department of Linguistics, where she investigated the brain basis of syntactic and semantic processing.
Education
- PhD in Linguistics, New York University (advisor information not provided)
Background
- Her main research goal is to strengthen the connections between linguistics and cognitive science on one hand, and natural language processing and artificial intelligence on the other. She approaches this process from both directions: she brings linguistic and cognitive scientific insights about human language to bear on training, evaluating, and debiasing NLP systems, and also applies statistical methods and corpus analytic tools from NLP to uncover new quantitative, cross-linguistic facts about particular human languages.
