SLED Research Lab @ University of Michigan

Language use in human communication is shaped by our goals, our shared experiences, and our understanding of each other's abilities, knowledge, and beliefs. Led by Prof. Joyce Chai, the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) lab (formerly, the LAIR group) develops computational models for language processing that take into account the rich situational and communicative context and build embodied AI agents that can communicate with humans in language.
