Alona Fyshe is an Assistant Professor in the Computing Science and Psychology Departments at the University of Alberta, a Fellow of the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) and a Canada CIFAR AI Chair. Alona received her BSc and MSc in Computing Science from the University of Alberta, and a PhD in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University. Alona uses machine learning to analyze brain images collected while people read, which allows her to study how humans represent the meaning they encounter in text, and how they combine words to understand higher-order meaning. Alona also studies how computers learn to represent meaning when trained on text or images. Alona has discovered interesting connections between meaning representations in computer models and those in the human brain. Those connections serve to advance both our understanding of the brain, and the state of the art in machine learning. Alona was the co-organizer for the Summer Institute for AI and Society (July 2019. https://dlrlsummerschool.ca/the-summer-institute/)
