OUNLP
The OUNLP Lab studies how machines understand, generate, and interact through human language. We develop models and systems for dialogue, discourse, reasoning, and trustworthy human-AI collaboration.
Highlights
Our Research
We study multi-party/multi-modal dialogue, LLM/agent alignment, structured prediction, and trustworthy deployment to build reliable human–AI language systems.
Our Projects
Ongoing work includes classroom/tutoring discourse analytics, domain-specific agents (e.g., hydrology, materials), symbolic-neural structured prediction, and robust evaluation.
Our Team
Led by Assistant Professor Jie Cao at OU’s School of Computer Science, OUNLP is a collaborative group of students and partners focused on NLP, ML, dialogue/discourse, and trustworthy AI.
