Background
  • Research Interests: Improving the processes by which humans teach and instruct computers, including generalizing from fewer examples (like zero-shot and few-shot learning) and generating training data (like synthetic data generation and programmatic weak supervision). The goal is to reduce the effort required by people, especially non-computer scientists in specialized, technical domains, to get computers to do what they want. Application areas include information extraction, image understanding, scientific discovery, and other areas of data science.
