Yejin Choi - Natural Language Processing, Common Sense, AI • YASP #4
<p>Yejin Choi is a Professor at the School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington and also a senior research director at AI2. She received her doctorate in Computer Science at Cornell University and bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University in Korea. Her research investigates a wide variety problems across NLP and AI including commonsense knowledge and reasoning, neural language (de-)generation, language grounding with vision and experience, and AI for social good. She is a MacArthur Fellow and a recipient of many best paper awards, such as NAACL, I C ML, NeurIPS, I C C V, and triple A I. She is the recipient of ACL and CVPR Test of Time awards. She won the inaugural Alexa Prize and was one of IEEE AI's 10 to Watch.
