- UIC Affiliation: Department of Computer Science, College of Engineering
- NSF Role: Program Director (current)
- Education: Ph.D., Computer Science, Iowa State University
Her research spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing, focusing on semi-supervised learning, data cartography, and emotion/stance detection in social media. Applications include privacy prediction for images, disaster response systems, and scientific document analysis. She pioneered datasets like SciNLI, GunStance, and EZ-STANCE, while developing techniques such as Beam Tree Recursion and JointMatch.
Recent publications emphasize semi-supervised frameworks for NLP tasks, multimodal disaster tweet classification, and large vision-language model evaluations. Collaborations with students like Seo Yeon Park, Jishnu Ray Chowdhury, and Chenye Zhao highlight her expertise in domain adaptation and calibrated knowledge distillation.
She actively recruits PhD students for research assistantships in NLP, info retrieval, and machine learning. Her work has appeared in top venues including ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, and CVPR.
