👏 Welcome to BiAlign Lab!

BiAlign Lab at NYU Shanghai & NYU studies how humans and AI interact with and adapt to each other, with a focus on bidirectional human-AI alignment.

Our work connects Machine Learning, Multi-Modal AI (NLP, Speech, Vision), Human-Computer Interaction, and Social Computing. We aim to build AI systems that are intelligent and that also respond to human values and societal needs, toward more trustworthy and responsible AI.

🔬 Research Themes

• Bidirectional Human-AI Alignment: aligning AI to humans and helping humans adapt to AI
• Value Alignment: the value–action gap, value trade-offs, and value steering in LLMs
• AI Safety: interpretability, steerability, and the gap between what agents claim and what they do
• Human-Centered AI: AI for caregiving, mental health, education, and older adults
