Welcome!

Our goal is to develop a synergy between humans and artificial intelligence through a better understanding of human behavior and human interaction with AI. We currently work on the following areas:

• Language and social dynamics,
• Emergence of communities, intergroup contact, and multi-community engagement,
• Understanding/generating explanations for human-AI interaction,
• Design and evaluation of human-AI interaction.

We are always looking for motivated postdocs, PhD students, and undergraduates who are interested in NLP, data science, computational social science, or machine learning! Please read this FAQ if you are interested.
