Portrait of Russa Biswas

Knowledge representation · Graph-grounded AI · Cultural heritage

Russa Biswas

Tenure-Track Assistant Professor · Co-director, AI:PAGE-Lab

Russa studies how knowledge graphs represent information and support reasoning, including how they can make language-model outputs more factual.

She develops methods for knowledge-graph completion and entity typing, combining graph structure with textual descriptions. Her recent work examines multilingual hallucinations and reasoning supported by explicit graph paths.

Russa co-directs AI:PAGE-Lab with historian Johan Heinsen. The lab turns historical texts into searchable, connected knowledge so that researchers can explore relationships across cultural-heritage collections.

Knowledge representation

Graph embeddings, entity typing, link prediction, and completion methods that combine graph structure with textual descriptions.

Factual and informative language models

Multilingual hallucination evaluation, factual completeness, and reasoning grounded in explicit knowledge-graph paths.

Knowledge across languages and domains

Multilingual and lower-resourced knowledge graphs, and connected historical knowledge through AI:PAGE-Lab.
