AI Research at ISI

ISI is home to one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence research labs that explores diverse topics across basic & applied research continuum.

Have you used ConceptNet or COMeT in your model? Be more mindful because they might conflate *commonsense knowledge* with *harmful biases*. Our new preprint https://t.co/qEUdFFIGUL explores this issue 🧐. w/@NinarehMehrabi @fredmorstatter @jay_mlr @xiangrenNLP @aram_galstyan

Excited about "Will AIs Ever be One of Us?", an USC @ISI_AI event, with Elizabeth Churchill @xeeliz, Antonio Damasio @damasiousc, and Prem Natarajan @natarajan_prem as invited speakers and a lot of USC speakers as well! Jan 12-13, RSVP at https://t.co/mnWV1YJzbu

In January 2021, USC ISI will be hosting an #ArtificialIntelligence Symposium featuring numerous prolific AI researchers. Focusing on whether AI models will ever be one of us, the event presentations & themes will help us see AI in a new light.🧐More details to come!

I am thrilled to share that I will be joining ISI USC this Fall. I am excited about the upcoming collaborations with colleagues at @USC_ISI @USC.
I am grateful for every moment I've spent at @LTIatCMU, with my advisor @ehovy and other coauthors @gneubig @violet_zct @waterluffy.

#AAAI20 friends, come see @Sarikgha presenting our work on evaluating open domain dialog sys! We showed that the engagement of a conversation could be predicted early on with individual utterance pairs, and yield high correlation with human! @aram_galstyan @USC_ISI

[AAAI @RealAAAI]

Opening remarks are starting now. Be ready for a big announcement from #AAAI20 president @yolandagil during the presidential address...

@brekelmania and @dc_moyer had a busy day at our echo-noise poster (#67) at #NeurIPS2019. Full paper (with @gesteller): https://t.co/fp7Ss8Uf4w

[Daniel Moyer @dc_moyer]

Hey Twitter! If you're at #NeurIPS2019 come by Poster 67, first session. We're presenting an EXACT rate-distortion noise model, which gives you a closed form for I(z,x) in e.g. VAE.

Work lead by the amazing @brekelmania @gesteller @aram_galstyan team at @USC_ISI

[Violet Peng @VioletNPeng]

Really happy for @Sarikgha who got her first full conference paper accepted by #AAAI2020! @RealAAAI I’m especially proud of seeing her gradually growing into a confident researcher! #womenintech
Also another successful collaboration w/ @aram_galstyan and Ralph @USC_ISI

I'm happy we got two papers in #neurips2019. They are based on the following preprints: https://t.co/OuQUdRXoC6 https://t.co/FDNJfsnAGq . Congrats to the phd students on their excellent work.

[Aram Galstyan @aram_galstyan]

Check out the @ISI_AI’s booth if you're at #ijcai19 . We have a number of exciting openings in ML, NLP, computer vision, and knowledge graphs. @USC_ISI @USCViterbi @IJCAIconf
