Tamanna Hossain-Kay

Hi, I’m a PhD candidate in the Computer Science department at UC, Irvine advised by Sameer Singh. My research is generously funded by the Hasso-Plattner Institute.

I’m currently exploring ways to make language models more robust & interpretable in their reasoning. My past work includes evaluating models for information loss, non-binary gender bias, and ability to detect misinformation.

I’d love to connect about:
