Devin Judge-Lord

My work employs a range of methods, with particular contributions in the field of text analysis. By building large open-source datasets and methods to analyze large volumes of political texts, I aim to expand the aspects of policymaking that are open to systematic study. Primarily, I develop methods for integrating human coding of texts with ...

Henning Silber

My research focuses on quantitative social research methodology, and I use machine learning to identify bias in social science data, especially due to measurement and nonresponse error, and to process unstructured data. I also use LLMs for the classification of text data, and explore strategies to use AI in questionnaire design. I first started to ...

I lead Robot Studio, a Research lab in the Robotics Department of the University of Michigan. Our work is focused on democratizing health and arts with social robots. We develop human-centered robot systems that enhance the quality of life and that promotes creativity. Our lab is interdisciplinary, composed of researchers from computer science, engineering, information ...

Steven Wilson

I study human communication using Natural Language Processing methods with a focus on understanding and incorporating the social context of text data and the people that create it. I am broadly interested in how people sift through and add to the vast body of online content, how they tell stories and make sense of the ...

Xiaofan Liang

My research focused on using computational approaches and spatial and social network methods to advance understanding and solutions for contemporary urban challenges. My current research has two themes: 1) examining how urban network infrastructure (e.g., transportation, social, or digital infrastructure) can simultaneously be inclusive and exclusive, offering connectivity and access for certain populations, places, or ...

Katherine Brumberg

Katherine Brumberg’s research focuses on matching and stratification methods in observational studies. Her main contributions have been in developing new methods for optimizing the balance of covariates between the treated and control groups using approximation algorithms to solve intractable integer programs. She applies this research in healthcare and social science domains and has a particular ...

Chris Teplovs

My research focuses on leveraging language models to enable concurrent, embedded and transformative assessment processes for learners and their educational journeys. Traditional assessment approaches are primarily summative, placing students in high-pressure exam situations that may not accurately reflect their abilities or learning progression. These assessments tend to follow a “one size fits all” model, neglecting ...

Tung-Hui Hu

Hu is a media scholar interested in the historical and theoretical context of digital culture and AI. His first monograph, A Prehistory of the Cloud (MIT Press, 2015), explored the material infrastructure of the cloud, while Digital Lethargy (MIT Press, 2022), explored the racialized dimensions of labor within AI through key works of art and ...
