We focus on Artificial Retrieval Intelligence, grounding AI in reliable information.
Research
Building the next generation of information intelligence
Our work connects information retrieval, generative AI, and human-centered computing to make intelligent systems more useful, reliable, and aligned with real-world needs.
Trustworthy Information Retrieval
Search and evaluation methods that are reliable, privacy-aware, and useful for human decision-making.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Retrieval and evidence-grounding techniques that reduce hallucination and improve generative AI.
Multimodal Intelligence
Representing and retrieving knowledge across text, image, audio, and other modalities.
Human-centered AI
Understanding human values and aligning intelligent systems with people and society.
