Tommi Jaakkola is the Thomas Siebel Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received his MSc in theoretical physics from Helsinki University of Technology in 1992 and his PhD from MIT in computational neuroscience in 1997. After completing a postdoctoral position in computational molecular biology as a DOE/Sloan fellow at UCSC, he joined the MIT EECS faculty in 1998. His research advances how machines can learn, predict or control, and do so at scale in an efficient, principled, and interpretable manner. His work in machine learning extends from foundational theory to modern applications, focusing especially on statistical inference and estimation tasks that lie at the heart of complex learning problems. He designs new methods, theory and algorithms to automate the use and generation of semi-structured data such as natural language text, images, molecules, or strategies. Jaakkola applies and develops algorithms to solve multi-faceted recommender, retrieval, or inferential tasks (particularly in biomedical contexts), design and optimize molecules or reactions for drug design, and model strategic, game theoretic interactions. His recent work heavily focuses on diffusion models, protein structure prediction, molecular design, and generative AI, with significant publications in top conferences including ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR. His scientific contributions span multiple disciplines with significant impact in both theoretical machine learning and practical applications in computational biology and chemistry, including notable work on antibiotic discovery published in Cell.

Her research focuses on syntax, psycholinguistics, and Chinese linguistics, with a particular emphasis on grammaticality judgments, satiation effects, and island phenomena. She has contributed to understanding how sentence processing and discourse factors influence syntactic structures. Her research interests encompass syntax, psycholinguistics, and formal semantics, with a focus on exploring grammaticality illusions, the role of discourse in syntactic constraints, and cross-linguistic variations in Chinese. Key areas include the study of extraction islands, coordination effects, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying sentence processing. Her recent work (2020-2024) demonstrates a strong focus on syntactic satiation, island effects, and experimental methods in syntax. Publications analyze both English and Chinese data, investigating how linguistic structures are processed and judged by speakers. Trends include exploring the generalizability of satiation across island types and the interplay between discourse and syntactic constraints.
