Hi, I'm Henry Lieberman. I'm Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Media Laboratory. I work with the Agents Group. I'm especially interested in using Artificial Intelligence techniques to improve all kinds of user interfaces. Much of my work is centered on the use of Common Sense knowledge, simple facts about people and everyday life. I also work on bringing the full procedural power of computers to non-expert users through Programming by Example, natural language and visual programming. I'm also interested in a wide variety of other topics in AI and interactive computing.

Check out ...

  • Here are some press articles concerning my work, from the Discovery Channel, the Boston Globe, and Investor's Business Daily.

  • See a video of Henry's lecture on Applying Common Sense Reasoning in Interactive Applications (one hour, requires Realplayer)

    See also our Web pages for the Media Lab's overall research effort on Common Sense Computing.

  • The Lieberary: Henry's on-line library

    The Lieberary (Lieberman's Library) is a large collection of my work, with illustrated abstracts of papers, full versions in HTML, RTF and PDF or Postscript, and, for some, Quicktime movies of software demonstrations.

  • A short biography. Here's my full CV.
  • A list of my publications.
  • Descriptions and curriculum materials for courses I'm teaching and courses I've taught at MIT.
  • Want to be a graduate student in my group? See my page for applicants.
  • Some conferences that I'm involved with.
  • I'm a Virtual Visiting Fellow of the Knowledge Media Institute of The Open University (UK). You can hear an interview with me that was broadcast live on the web.
  • My brother, Walt Lieberman, is a glass artist. Here are some of his glass paintings and glass sculpture.
