Ellie Pavlick
Google DeepMindResearch Scientist
Brown UniversityAssociate Professor
Pavlick studies whether neural networks understand language in ways that resemble human reasoning, rather than merely reproducing patterns in text. By comparing people and models across meaning, concepts, learning, and generalization, her work helps make claims about language-model understanding more testable.
