The Language Understanding and Knowledge Acquisition (LUKA) Lab is directed by Dr. Muhao Chen. Our research focuses on robust and accountable machine learning methods for natural language understanding and knowledge acquisition from unstructured data. Most recently, we have been focusing on accountability and security problems with large language models. Our long-term goal is to develop robust, generalizable and trustworthy learning systems that help machines understand nature.
We will present 10 long papers at NAACL 2024 (incl. 7 main and 3 findings). See you in Mexico City!
Congratulations to James for winning the Outstanding Paper Award at EMNLP 2023!
