Tommi Jaakola

Tommi Jaakkola is a 2022 principal investigator in the MIT Jameel Clinic, the epicentre of AI and healthcare at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is also a professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer science.

Tommi's research seeks to advance how machines can learn, predict or control, and do so at scale in an efficient, principled and interpretable manner. His research group's inquiry into machine learning extends from foundational theory to modern applications, focusing especially on statistical inference and estimation tasks that lie at the heart of complex learning problems. They design new methods, theory and algorithms so as to automate the use and generation of semi-structured data such as natural language text, images, molecules, or strategies.
