I was recently recognized by #MichiganAI, #UMichCSE as an #AI #RisingStar.
I put forth an agenda of #CollaborativeHumanAISystems - #IntelligentSystems that are designed to model, reason, and learn about their human partners -supporting them in their goals and pursuits.
It is #AI, #ML research but extremely #HumanCentered. We start with studying what is the human trying to do and what intelligent support do they need.
A thread below -
#CollaborativeHumanAISystems studies 3 questions:
1. How do we model a human so that an #AI #System can reason with it? How to find a _prescriptive_ model? Human-centered sciences have a starting point.
2. How do we design an #intelligent #collaborator #agent?
3. How to we measure progress? THE most critical question. As #CS people, we are enamored byaccuracy, scale etc. But, in #HumanCentered research, we have to study what humans care about.
The potential #impact is interdisciplinary.

#CollaborativeHumanAISystems 3: #ITL, #InteractiveTaskLearning, #HumanRobotInteraction - how can complex #agents learn from humans? #language is large part of that puzzle.
Focus on #ELP, #EmbodiedLanguageProcessing - what does it mean to 'understand' language for communication, collaboration, & teaching.
Not #InformationRetrieval #IR which #NLP research studies.

Most #AI, #ML research assumes the first configuration in the figure below. We take it for granted that a human will fully delegate a task to the #AI #system
That couldn't be further from reality. For a long time, humans and #AI/#ML systems will have to work together in various configurations.
#CollaborativeHumanAISystems looks at what is typically overlooked in #AI, #ML - how do we bring humans in the #AI loop.
