A portfolio of questions and methods

We evaluate models, compare governance systems, reconstruct damaged archives, and study how machines handle language, culture, and human judgment.

AI Systems

  • Evaluation

    LLM Evaluation & Red-Teaming

    Tests of syntactic fragility, negation, prohibition, persuasion, and reported reasoning. This work contributes language-centered methods to the MLA team’s research in NIST CAISI.

  • Behavior

    Multi-Agent Behavioral Simulation

    More than 90 model and reasoning combinations tested on high-stakes decisions, including judicial recidivism prediction, with support from the Notre Dame–IBM Technology Ethics Lab.

Governance & Society

  • Regulation

    Comparative AI Policy

    Systematic comparison of AI regulation in the European Union, China, and the United States, with work on open models, behavioral evaluation, and institutional accountability.

  • Cultural data

    Provenance & Cultural Commons

    Rights-aware training, provenance infrastructure, and community control of cultural data, developed through the AI, IP & Culture Repository co-design process.

Culture & Interpretation

  • Narrative

    SentimentArcs & Multimodal Analysis

    Open methods for tracing emotional patterns across full-length texts and film. Explore code

  • Foundational work

    Human-Centered AI

    The 2016 curriculum and 2023 research framework joined computational practice to ethics, governance, and interpretation. Read more
