Researcher

Mohit Bansal

Mohit Bansal studies multimodal learning and language generation, including research on reasoning, interpretability and faithful responses. Bansal earned an engineering degree at IIT Kanpur from 2004 to 2008 and completed doctoral study at Berkeley from 2008 to 2013. His dissertation with Dan Klein concerned web semantics for structured language processing. He also wrote a 2012 master’s thesis on parsing. Bansal coauthored ICML papers on symbolic mixtures of experts and multimodal fact-level attribution for verifiable reasoning. They are specific publications within his work on reasoning agents and language generation.
