Yaw Osei Adjei

I am an undergraduate researcher at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
I work on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, focusing on trustworthy and accountable AI, uncertainty quantification, and deployment-aware explainability, to develop strong approaches to understanding how, when, and why model predictions and explanations hold up (and when they fail), with particular interest in African and low-resource contexts, across multilingual NLP, clinical biosignal processing, and environmental AI. Outside research, I read more self-help books than I'll ever admit.

I'm happy to talk about research in general, and my own work in particular. If you have any questions about one of my papers, or my overall research, feel free to reach out!
