Toward robust, interactive, and human‐aligned AI systems
Ensuring that AI systems do what we, as humans, actually want them to do is one of the biggest open research challenges in AI alignment and safety. My research seeks to directly address this challeng...

Can you trust your reward model alignment scores?
New work presented today at the COLM Workshop on Socially Responsible Language Modelling Research led by Purbid Bambroo and in collaboration with @anamarasovic.bsky.social that probes LLM preference test sets for redundancy and inflated scores.

Check out our new paper being presented today at #CoRL2025 on uncertainty quantification: openreview.net/forum?id=K7K....
We propose a new second-order metric for uncertainty quantification in robot learning that we call "Agreement Volatility."

Shared autonomy systems have been around for a long time but most approaches require a learned or specified set of possible human goals or intents. I'm excited for my student Connor Mattson to present our work at #HRI2025 on a zero-shot, vision-only shared autonomy (VOSA) framework.
