The Language Understanding and Knowledge Acquisition (LUKA) Lab is directed by Dr. Muhao Chen. Our research focuses on data-driven machine learning approaches for Natural Language Understanding (information extraction, natural language inference, QA, multilingualism), Knowledge Technologies (knowledge acquisition, consolidation, transfer), and AI for the common good (applications to biology, medicine, software engineering, and geoinformatics). Our long-term goal is to develop robust, generalizable and minimally supervised knowledge-aware learning systems that help machines understand nature.

We are looking for several new Ph.D. students to join the lab. Prospective students please read this.
