Chan Young Park
Iām a PhD candidate advised by Yulia Tsvetkov at Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Iām currently at University of Washington as a visiting PhD student. Broadly, my research interests are in the area of NLP, AI Ethics, and computational social science. I am a recipient of K&L Gates Presidential Fellowship and KFAS Fellowship, and was selected as UChicago Rising Stars in Data Science. I was a research intern at Meta AI and Adobe Research. For more information, please check my CV.
Research Interests
My research aims to enhance the effectiveness, fairness, and adaptability of language technologies for diverse populations by centering social context in NLP systems. More specifically,
- NLP: Improving and adapting NLP models with social contexts such as culture and community
- AI Ethics: Evaluating NLP models to monitor their fairness and safety across diverse languages and cultures
- Computational Social Science: Using NLP models to understand social phenomena such as misinformation and social movement
