A CLOSER LOOK AT THE INSTITUTE

A mission that gives us direction. Core values for innovation.

Our vision is to serve as a inter­na­tion­al­ly rec­og­nized inter­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion hub advanc­ing research, edu­ca­tion, and inno­va­tion in lan­guage, learn­ing, and AI through impact­ful part­ner­ships with region­al, nation­al, and inter­na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ties.

Our Mission

  • To fos­ter col­lab­o­ra­tive research and knowl­edge cre­ation in IIS’s core areas of lan­guage, learn­ing, and AI. 
  • To deep­en under­stand­ing of intel­li­gent sys­tems, span­ning includ­ing humans, com­put­ers, and the built and nat­ur­al envi­ron­ments. 
  • To cat­alyze inno­v­a­tive, cross-dis­ci­pli­nary research across the Social and Phys­i­cal Sci­ences, Human­i­ties, STEM, Music and Art, Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Sci­ences, Med­i­cine, and Law. 
  • To cre­ate oppor­tu­ni­ties for a broad, delib­er­ate, and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research com­mu­ni­ty of fac­ul­ty, stu­dents, indus­try, and com­mu­ni­ty part­ners com­mit­ted to advanc­ing the fron­tiers of lan­guage, learn­ing, and AI. 
  • To pro­mote pub­lic under­stand­ing of the rapid­ly evolv­ing land­scape of intel­li­gent sys­tems through acces­si­ble, pub­lic-fac­ing sci­ence trans­la­tion. 

Our Core Values

  • We strive to be a trust­ed, acces­si­ble resource that com­mu­ni­cates advances in lan­guage, learn­ing, and AI to a wide audi­ence. 
  • We sup­port stu­dent suc­cess through inter­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion, fund­ing, men­tor­ship, and pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment.  -
  • We lead in the devel­op­ment of acces­si­ble tools, soft­ware, instru­ments, and knowl­edge resources that advance the study of lan­guage, learn­ing, and AI. 
  • We pro­vide an intel­lec­tu­al space for dia­logue and inquiry on issues of region­al, nation­al, and glob­al impor­tance in our core areas. 
  • We fos­ter an inspir­ing envi­ron­ment that embraces and ele­vates clever, col­lab­o­ra­tive, and vision­ary ideas. 
  • We val­ue integri­ty, effi­cien­cy, cre­ativ­i­ty, empa­thy, and rig­or in all we do.
