Tamanna Hossain-Kay

Hi, I'm a PhD student in the Computer Science department at UC, Irvine advised by Sameer Singh. My research is generously funded by HPI.

I work on developing trustworthy NLP systems aligned with human values. My recent research has been focused on fairness, particularly in characterizing and measuring biases in a way that is grounded in real-world harms and is inclusive of diverse, fluid, and intersectional identities. Using these insights, I am working on self-correcting methodologies for language models to identify ethical issues and revise their own output.
