Interview with Mahammed Kamruzzaman: Understanding and mitigating biases in large language models

In a series of interviews, we're meeting some of the AAAI/SIGAI Doctoral Consortium participants to find out more about their research. In this latest interview, we hear from Mahammed Kamruzzaman, who is looking into biases in large language models. We find out about his research so far during the PhD, what he is planning to investigate next, and what inspired him to focus on this aspect of the field. I am currently pursuing my PhD at the University of South Florida in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. My research focuses on understanding and mitigating biases in Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly how these biases manifest across various sociodemographic and cultural dimensions.
