Welcome to Persist Lab!
Welcome to Persist (Pervasive Iintelligent Systems) Lab. We are a dynamic research group in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. Our mission is the seamless integration of intelligence into our daily lives, enabling us to better decipher the intricacies of the virtual and physical worlds surrounding us. We develop and evaluate innovative solutions at the intersection of natural language processing, human-AI interaction, and machine learning. Our research leverages complex and diverse multi-modal data, ranging from Electronic Health Records to social media posts and sensor data, to enhance human cognition and decision-making.
