Irina Rabkina’s research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive science. She wants to build AI systems that think in the same ways that people do.
Research
Irina Rabkina wants to build artificial intelligence (AI) systems that think in the same ways that people do. Most of her work has focused on social reasoning (i.e., reasoning about the mental states of others), which has implications for multi-agent interaction, human-robot interaction, natural language understanding, and AI game play, among others. If you are an Oxy student interested in getting involved in research in any of these areas, send Irina an email to set up a time to chat.
