Allen School researchers are at the forefront of exciting developments in AI spanning machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, robotics and more.
We cultivate a deeper understanding of the science and potential impact of rapidly evolving technologies, such as large language models and generative AI, while developing practical tools for their ethical and responsible application in a variety of domains — from biomedical research and disaster response, to autonomous vehicles and urban planning.
Groups & Labs
Bespoke Silicon Group
The Bespoke Silicon Group aims to bring hardware design to its highest art and rapidly conceive of, design and implement entirely new kinds of hardware faster than has ever been done before.
Behavioral Data Science Group
The Behavioral Data Science Group leverages large-scale behavioral data to extract actionable insights about our lives, health and happiness by combining techniques from data science, social network analysis, and natural language processing.

Centers & Initiatives
The AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM) brings together AI and social sciences researchers to develop human-centric AI for societal good that harnesses the power of data and improved understanding of human decisions to create better and more trusted choices.
MEM-C is a NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center that integrates materials innovations with theory and computation to advance spin-photonic nanostructures and elastic layered quantum materials, aided by an “AI Core” that integrates artificial intelligence-driven materials discovery.
Highlights
Allen School News
Itani, who works with Allen School professor Shyam Gollakota in the Mobile Intelligence Lab, was recognized for exceptional early-career research advancing AI systems for “superhuman” hearing.
HearingTracker
A technology known as semantic hearing developed in Allen School professor Shyam Gollakota’s lab could let users create acoustic bubbles, isolate chosen voices, and control individual sounds in their environment.
MIT Technology Review Korea
Allen School professor Su-In Lee discusses the role of artificial intelligence in science and medicine and explains why the process the model follows to arrive at an answer is as important as the answer itself.
