Ali Emami is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Brock University (Canada), with a tenure-track position at Emory University starting Fall 2025. His research focuses on natural language processing, machine learning, and AI ethics, particularly evaluating large language models' reasoning and societal impacts. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from McGill University/Mila (2021), with prior degrees from McGill in MSc (2016) and BSc (2014).
Research interests include:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning
- Ethics, bias, and fairness in AI
- Language understanding and generation
- AI interpretability and reliability
- Computational social science
Recent work emphasizes benchmarking LLMs' reasoning capabilities (e.g., NYT-Connections, STOP!) and addressing societal bias through books. Notable achievements include the COLING 2025 Best Dataset Award and the EMNLP 2024 Social Impact Award. He has supervised multiple undergrad and graduate researchers, with a focus on fostering collaborative projects.
His lab explores personalized narrative generation (MirrorStories) and tool-augmented LLM evaluation frameworks (TALE). Upcoming roles include a talk at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre on LLMs' societal mirrors and a 2024 teaching award from Brock’s Faculty of Mathematics & Science.
