CLSP Fall Seminar Series: Chien-Ming Huang

Description

Chien-Ming Huang, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins, will present a Center for Language and Speech Processing seminar titled "Becoming Teammates: Designing Assistive, Collaborative Machines."

Abstract:

The growing power in computing and artificial intelligence promises a near-term future of human-machine teamwork. In this talk, I will present my research group's efforts in understanding the complex dynamics of human-machine interaction and designing intelligent machines aimed to assist and collaborate with people. I will focus on 1) tools for onboarding machine teammates and authoring machine assistance, 2) methods for detecting, and broadly managing, errors in collaboration, and 3) building blocks of knowledge needed to enable ad hoc human-machine teamwork. I will also highlight our recent work on designing assistive, collaborative machines to support older adults aging in place.
