معرفی
Noah A. Smith is an Adjunct Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. His work focuses on computational linguistics, machine learning, and natural language processing. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University (2006). His research explores ethical AI applications, multimodal systems, and foundational aspects of language models.
Key research areas include:
- Ethical considerations in NLP, such as detecting rights abuses through text analysis
- Efficient decoding and alignment strategies for large language models
- Large-scale evaluation frameworks for multitask and multimodal generation
- Understanding pretraining dynamics and data composition effects
Recent work emphasizes transparency in language models (e.g., tracing outputs to training data) and improving alignment through human feedback. He has contributed to open-source projects like OLMo and Dolma, advancing reproducibility in NLP research.
