Dr. Mary Kelly is the principal investigator of the ANIMUS lab and an Associate Professor in the Department of Cognitive Science. She is a cognitive scientist with a background in artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy of mind. Her research has three goals: (1) to advance the scientific understanding of the basic cognitive functions that underpin human learning and reasoning, (2) to develop biologically-inspired machine learning systems capable of achieving expert performance on arbitrary tasks through learning, and (3) ensuring safe, pro-social behaviours in AI systems.
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
- safety in artificial intelligence
Dr. Kelly supervises students interested in computational cognitive models, artificial intelligence, or digital humanities.
