Advait Deshmukh

Hi! I’m Advait, a Computer Science Ph.D. student the University of Colorado Boulder, advised by Dr. Maria Antoniak. My primary research interests lie in Natural Language Processing. I aim to leverage interpretability tools to study failure modes of language technologies and to make these systems more robust by instilling linguistically and cognitively informed inductive biases in them.

I’m currently conducting research on narratives at the Antoniak lab. I previously worked at and continue to collaborate with BLAST Lab lead by Dr. Maria Pacheco. I recently presented my short paper on entity typing at *SEM 2025 (co-located with EMNLP). I recently collaborated with Rohan on his work ‘A Structured Clustering Approach for Narrative Schema Induction’ (Recommended to ACL ‘26 in July ARR).

In addition to my professional and academic pursuits, I like reading books, playing chess, and painting cat-sitting.
