I am recruiting Ph.D. students at @umdcs starting Fall 2026! I am looking for students in three broad areas:
(1) Physics-integrated computer vision
(2) VLMs with constraints
(2) Dual-use AI policy
We're ranked #3 in AI on @CSrankings!
Specific details in 🧵
🚀 Just Launched: VideoArena!🎥
Discover head-to-head comparisons of video clips generated from the same prompts across top text-to-video models. Compare outputs from 7 leading models and we're adding more soon!

Real documents aren’t just plain text – they also have visuospatial layout! Humans generalize flexibly to new layouts (e.g., 1 or 2 column papers). Can LLMs?
Our #ACL2023 Findings paper shows current layout-infused models struggle on unseen layouts.

Hi all prospective grad students! Our Equal Access to Application Assistance (EAAA) program for @Berkeley_EECS is now accepting applications! Any PhD applicant to @Berkeley_EECS can submit their application for feedback by Oct 8 2022: https://t.co/DGn4Q8yClb
I’m really honored that our paper, "Automatic Correction of Human Translations," won multiple awards at #NAACL2022! 😊
This paper came out of working w/ @LiltHQ to ask: how can we use NLP to assist real humans (professional translators)?

Check out ReCLIP: A Strong Zero-shot Baseline for Referring Expression Comprehension, especially if you're curious about (1) different ways of interfacing w/ CLIP or (2) CLIP's spatial reasoning ability!

@anjali_ruban@trevordarrell@jacobandreas Congrats on everything, Anjali! It’s been such a pleasure to work with you. Really excited to see what you’ll do in the years to come 😁
I'm recruiting grad students starting Fall '22! Particular areas of interest: language grounding, interaction, pragmatics, and multi-agent NLP. Want to help people do things with words and computers? Apply to CMU SCS by December 9! https://t.co/6QGLlfmlcv
Super excited by this result! I’ve been working on crosswords for a while and I’m incredibly happy to see this project finally come to fruition. More info, paper, and hopefully a web demo coming soon!
Giving a Talk tomorrow on:
"Combating Anti-Blackness in the AI Community"
I wrote an article last summer for "ppl who want to help".
Since then, those "who hurt" have become incredibly emboldened and I hope to address both.

Combatting Anti-Blackness in the AI Community:
In this work, we aim to elucidate the scale and scope of anti-Black bias in the AI community and provide concrete steps to mitigate this bias and build a more just community.

It's been a wild time to be on the faculty market. I'm thankful to say I'll be joining @USCViterbi Computer Science @CSatUSC as an assistant professor in Fall 2021! Spread the word for students and collaborators interested in embodied language grounding and #RoboNLP 🎉
Excited to talk about our new benchmark for interpreting grounded, natural language instructions for a simulated agent to accomplish household tasks.
