John Licato

I have been director of the Advancing Machine and Human Reasoning (AMHR) Lab at USF since 2017. I am an expert in the intersection of AI, natural language processing, human reasoning, cognitive modeling, and argumentation. My work focuses on how to not only advance AI, but to use those advances to make people reason better---whether it's in how they argue with each other, make decisions, solve problems, or work past natural cognitive biases. I was an awardee of the 2017 AFOSR Young Investigator's Program award.
