task-oriented dialog systems which are more robust to disfluencies, code-switching and user revisions [arXiv-23]. Prior to
joining Google, Dr. Ammar led the Semantic Scholar research team-s efforts to develop ML-based methods to facilitate access
to the literature [e.g., NAACL 19], build a knowledge graph of the scientific literature [NAACL-18], and use this wealth of
information to identify systemic social problems in science [JAMA-19]. He also led the product team for the Semantic Scholar
APIs in 2023. Dr. Ammar occasionally teaches courses at UW linguistics and UW Computer Science as a visiting lecturer. In
2016, he earned his Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence from Carnegie Mellon University. Before pursuing the Ph.D.,
