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 Social Computing, Algorithmic Audits, AI Ethics, Computational Social Science, and NLP.
As a graduate student, I’ve also conducted research with Yulia Tsvetkov and David Jurgens. Previously, I received undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Political Science from the University of Washington.
research interests
My research focuses on advancing inclusive AI technologies and online platforms to better serve people who are overlooked in the development of these systems. Driven by my interdisciplinary background, I develop technical frameworks and methods grounded in social science theories, with two main goals:
- Auditing AI technologies and online platforms for bias and misinformation to build a more responsible socio-technical future.
- Understanding social phenomena, such as community norms, through language and online behavior to promote socially-attuned and equitable technologies.
