I’m Jack. I’m an M.S. student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Chengxiang Zhai and Prof. Heng Ji in the Blender NLP Lab. At the core of my research in usable and reliable intelligence, I strive to equip machines with interactive communications and up-to-date knowledge using explainable methods. The ultimate aim of my research is to promote engagement and truthfulness in information access and generation, through a variety of explainable methods with low bias, easy evaluation methods and high computational efficiency.
