About
Kianté Brantley is an Institute Investigator at the Kempner Institute and Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). Before joining Harvard, he was a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, working with Thorsten Joachims. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland College Park, advised by Dr. Hal Daumé III.
Research Focus
Brantley’s research focuses on addressing the misalignment issues that machine learning systems based on foundation models often encounter. He aims to mitigate these issues by studying algorithms that can learn from interactive feedback data collected from external sources. His specific areas of interest include reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and natural language processing.
