Eric Slyman (they/them)
AI/CS Ph.D Student, Oregon State University

Hi folks! I’m a Ph.D. student at the intersection of multimodal AI, human-computer interaction, and fairness in the Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science programs at Oregon State University where I’m advised by Stefan Lee and Minsuk Kahng.
My current research focuses on building systems to test and diagnose very large-scale vision and language models, such as CLIP, ViLBERT, LXMERT, and more. I am adapting and extending methodologies from behavioral testing and creating human-in-the-loop systems to allow intuitive ways for users to poke at model failure states and vulnerabilities.
In addition to research, I am also the Co-President of OSU’s AI Graduate Student Association where I organize social and professional events for our AI community and am working to stand up support for students interested in our program from underrepresented backgrounds, such as application reviews.
