Nhi Pham

I'm a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, where I am advised by Prof. Bernt Schiele and Dr. Jonas Fischer. As part of PhD preparatory phase, I was jointly supervised by Dr. Adam Kortylewski on interpreting image classifiers with 3D neural object volumes.

Before this, I received my B.S in Computer Science and Mathematics at New York University Abu Dhabi, where I worked on computational linguistics with Prof. Adam Meyers, and on operator theory with Prof. Ilya Spitkovsky. I also interned at Goldman Sachs, Amazon AWS AI, and Meta (Facebook).

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, explainability in multimodal AI and generative AI.

Design an inherently-interpretable and robust classifier by extending existing 3D-aware classifiers with concepts extracted from their volumetric representations for classification.

A coarse-to-fine-grained benchmark that systematically assesses hallucination in object existence and attributes.
