Robert Wolfe
I’m a Ph.D. student in Information Science at the University of Washington. My interests are in AI ethics, natural language processing, and machine learning.
My research examines:
- Biases related to societal defaults with regard to race and ethnicity, nationality, and age in multimodal language-and-image AI
- How properties like contextualization, tokenization, and anisotropy affect measurements of semantics in contextualized word embeddings
- How representations of natural language are affected by multimodal visual semantic pretraining
I studied literature during my first time through graduate school, and I’m always up for book recommendations and tips on hiking in the Seattle area. I’m best reached by email.
