The TAUR Lab (Text Analysis, Understanding, and Reasoning) is a research group at The University of Texas at Austin, led by Greg Durrett. Our research is primarily in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning. We focus on improving techniques for using large language models (LLMs) to reason about knowledge in text.
LLMs still fall short in challenging real-world applications such as medical information processing, scientific discovery, and legal reasoning.
We develop methods for training these models to have new capabilities, augmenting them to be more reliable, and assessing their outputs to identify strengths and weaknesses of
the state of the art.
