Hale Sirin

I’m a Program Scientist at Schmidt Sciences AI and Advanced Computing Institute and an Assistant Research Professor at Johns Hopkins University. My research investigates how AI can understand language, culture, and narrative across the world’s linguistic diversity, with the goal of advancing multilingual capabilities of AI models. At Schmidt Sciences, I lead programs that focus on AI for humanities and advancing research in multi-agent communication and coordination. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in computational linguistics at Johns Hopkins, focusing on AI research for cultural heritage. You can find my recent papers here. I did my PhD at Johns Hopkins University, and before coming to Hopkins, I completed an MA in Social Sciences at the University of Chicago.
