Research Interests

Welcome to my research page! My primary interests lie in machine learning, structured prediction, and enhancing artificial intelligence reasoning with domain knowledge and constraints. I have a broad range of research goals, which has led me to work on diverse projects in machine learning and artificial intelligence. These include inference and learning over graphs, object navigation and detection, time-series modeling, entity resolution, dialogue systems, explainability, online learning, event detection in autonomous driving, and more. My research is inherently multidisciplinary, involving extensive collaborations with both industry and academic partners. Recently, I have focused on the symbiotic integration of deep neural networks with symbolic systems and theory, aiming to push the boundaries of what AI can achieve.
