Our research:
Our lab’s research is on Reading to Learn: how we can use language understanding to generalize and learn more efficiently. Why should we read to learn? Most machine learning techniques train on vast amount of labeled data or experience for specific problems. When the problems change (e.g. driving in a new country, controlling a new robot, language interface for a new database), the expensive solution we trained no longer generalizes to new problems. The strength of humans lies in our ability to adapt to new problems adeptly through reading. For instance, understanding the traffic rules of a new country, the workings of a new coffee machine, or the content of a new database can be accomplished through reading the manual. The thesis of this research is that by reading language specifications that characterize key aspects of the problem, we can efficiently learn solutions that generalize to new problems. Our work in reading to learn spans several areas, including interactive learning, robotics, semantic parsing, and conversation agents. Our recent work has focused on learning policies that generalize to new environments by reading manuals, synthesizing curricula to pretrain reading models to ground language, and automatically generating reward functions from language for robotic control.
For interested students:
We are currently hiring strong Master’s and PhD students who are passionate about making long-term impact in machine learning and natural language processing. Our lab offers an exceptional platform for exploring how machines, like humans, can swiftly adapt to novel situations via language understanding. As a member of our lab, your work will interdisciplinary, spanning a diverse set of areas including ML, RL, NLP, CV, and extending to applications in software engineering, incentive design, and computational biology. Moreover, your work will provide collaboration opportunities with industry research labs such as the Vector Institute, Microsoft Research, Meta AI Research, and Salesforce Research.
