Khyathi Raghavi Chandu
I am a Research Scientist in the Mosaic working with Yejin Choi and the team at the Allen Institute of AI. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University on grounded multimodal long-form generation from the Language Technologies Institute advised by Alan W. Black, Eric Nyberg and Yonatan Bisk. My current focus is centered on three primary pillars:
- Science of LMs: Improving reliability and awareness in LLMs and VLMs with a focus on reducing hallucinations.
- Multimodal distillation: Syngergizing LLMs and VLMs to assist each other.
- Interactive Agents for reasoning and generation: Teaching machines to plan and execute in complex interactive tasks.
I am also excited about inference time algorithms, multilinguality and alignment. Get in touch if you want to chat, I’m open to collaborations or brainstorming!
I am fortunate to have been selected as a Rising Star by UC Berkeley. I am very passionate about DEI and co-chaired Academic Inclusion sub-committee multiple years at ACL 2020, ACL 2021, NAACL 2022 and co-organized Widening NLP in 2020 and 2021. I am very active in participating in community activities, organized several *CL workshops at conferences and served as Area Chair at AACL 2023. I am fortunate to have worked with amazing researchers in my past internships at Google, Apple and Meta.
