Natural language processing (NLP) offers incredible opportunities for automating tasks that involve human languages. However, numerous studies show that instead of learning, modern systems frequently memorize artifacts and biases. Furthermore, the texts produced by such models often contain factual errors.

Machine Learning advances have revolutionized many domains such as machine translation, complex game playing, and scientific discovery. On the other hand, ML has only enjoyed modest successes in human-centered applications. To improve the utility, reliability, and robustness of Machine Learning (ML) models in human-centered domains, we need to address several foundational challenges.
