Jiani Huang

I am a 6th year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania advised by Professor Mayur Naik. My research interests lie at the intersection of programming languages and machine learning. My thesis research focuses on the design, implementation, and applications of Scallop, a general-purpose neurosymbolic language and compiler framework. The neurosymbolic paradigm serves to bridge the otherwise complementary worlds of deep learning and symbolic reasoning. My research goal is to develop accurate, explainable, and efficient AI solutions for a wide variety of fields ranging from natural language processing, and computer vision, to medical applications. I was a 2023 EECS Rising Stars participant and a Visiting Researcher at Meta AI (2022-2023).
