Hayoung Jung
I am a M.S. student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Tanushree Mitra. My research interest are NLP, AI Ethics, and Computational Social Science.
As a graduate student, I’ve been fortunate to conduct research with Yulia Tsvetkov, David Jurgens, and Monojit Choudhury. Previously, I received undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Political Science from the University of Washington.
research interests
Broadly, my research interests revolve around advancing language technologies to better serve diverse populations. Specifically:
- AI Ethics: Evaluating how NLP models and AI-powered services, such as search engines, can propagate harms and misinformation, particularly affecting marginalized populations.
- Computational Social Science: Leveraging NLP techniques in conjunction with social science theories for a deeper understanding of diverse populations, communities, and culture.
