I am Associate Professor at Georgia Tech Interactive School of Computing, and I lead the Grounding Language in Actions, Multimodal Observations, and Robots (GLAMOR) Lab. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the University of Southern California Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science. Our lab's research enables agents and robots to better understand and respond to human language by considering the grounded context in which that language occurs by considering three threads: 1) We jointly train models with language, world perception, and physical action; 2) We investigate ways to take advantage of the extra-textual visual world and embodied context in which language is uttered to improve reasoning in language-and-vision and language-guided robotics tasks; and 3) We work to improve speech and sign recognition by leveraging contextual and structural information, as well as to apply language technologies to accessibility and health applications.
