Neel Guha

I am a fourth year JD-PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford University (advised by Chris Ré) and a Graduate Student Fellow at the RegLab. I graduated with a MS in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University (‘19) and a BS (with Honors) in Computer Science from Stanford University (‘18). I am grateful to be supported by the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF) and the HAI Graduate Fellowship.

My computer science work explores (1) legal applications of large language models, and (2) methods for enabling machine learning systems to better leverage structure (e.g., type information, knowledge base triples, embeddings). My recent work includes leading the creation of LegalBench, a large scale open effort to develop benchmark tasks for evaluating legal reasoning in LLMs.

On the law side, I am interested in how different technical aspects of AI might inform the approaches that courts and regulators take to regulation. I am also excited by the opportunities to use machine learning to advance empirical legal work—especially when this requires developing or improving existing methods.
