Dr. Mary Kelly is the principal investigator of the ANIMUS lab and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive ScienceShe is a cognitive scientist with a background in machine learning, cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and philosophy of mind. Her research has two goals: (1) to advance the scientific understanding of the basic cognitive functions that underpin human learning, knowledge, and language acquisition, and (2) to develop biologically-inspired machine learning systems capable of achieving expert performance on arbitrary tasks through learning.

Dr. Kelly’s research interests include:

  • models of human memory and learning
  • models of language learning, production, and comprehension
  • cognitive architectures
  • artificial neural networks and deep learning
  • bias in artificial intelligence
