I'm looking for PhD students to join me in fall 2025 School of Information! I’m particularly focused this cycle on research related to AI regulation, government use of algorithms, and methods for anticipating the impacts of AI systems. The full program details are here: si.umich.edu/programs/phd-i…

Please retweet: I am recruiting PhD students at Berkeley! Please apply to UC Berkeley EECS or UC Joint Computational Precision Health Program if you are interested in ML applied to health, inequality, or social science, and mention my name in your app. More details on work/how to apply: cs.cornell.edu/~emmapierson/








When RAG systems hallucinate, is the LLM misusing available information or is the retrieved context insufficient? In our #ICLR2025 paper, we introduce "sufficient context" to disentangle these failure modes. Work w J. Zhang, C.S. Ferng, Da-Cheng Juan, Ankur Taly Cyrus Rashtchian

Right to explanation laws assume explanations help people detect algorithmic discrimination. But is there any evidence for that? In our latest work w/ David Danks Berk Ustun, we show explanations fail to help people, even under optimal conditions. PDF shorturl.at/yaRua
