Research Overview
My research focuses on supporting two-way communication between humans and machines in the context of automating machine learning (ML)/data science life cycle tasks such as data engineering and reporting to stakeholders about fitted models and their fairness, accountability, and transparency (FAT). My research brings together ML/data science, knowledge-based programming, natural language technology and information visualization (InfoVis). I am an inventor on several US patents related to natural language-based AI technology. I am one of the founders of Arria (www.arria.com), a company specializing in data-to-text (D2T) natural language generation (NLG).
