Yejin Choi (Korean최예진; born 1977)[1] is the Wissner-Slivka Chair of Computer Science at the University of Washington. Her research considers natural language processing and computer vision.

Early life and education

[edit ]

Choi is from South Korea. She attended Seoul National University.[2] After earning a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Choi moved to the United States, where she joined Cornell University as a graduate student. There she worked with Claire Cardie on natural language processing. After earning her doctorate, Choi joined Stony Brook University as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science.[3] At Stony Brook University Choi developed a statistical technique to identify fake hotel reviews.[4]

Research and career

[edit ]

In 2018 Choi joined the Allen Institute for AI.[5] Her research looks to endow computers with a statistical understanding of written language.[6] She became interested in neural networks and their application in artificial intelligence. She started to assemble a knowledge base that became known as the atlas of machine commonsense (ATOMIC). By the time she had finished the creation of ATOMIC, the language model generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) had been released.[7] ATOMIC does not make use of linguistic rules, but combines the representations of different languages within a neural network.[7]

In 2020, Choi was endowed with the Brett Helsel Professorship, which she held until her became Chair of Computer Science in 2023.[8] [9] She has since made use of Commonsense Transformers (COMET) with Good old fashioned artificial intelligence (GOFAI). The approach combines symbolic reasoning and neural networks.[7] She has developed computational models that can detect biases in language that work against people from underrepresented groups.[10] For example, one study demonstrated that female film characters are portrayed as less powerful than their male counterparts.[6]

In 2023, Choi became The Wissner-Slivka Chair of Computer Science.[9] Choi is also a scientific advisor to French research group Kyutai which is being funded by Xavier Niel, Rodolphe Saadé, Eric Schmidt, and others.[11]
