Yu Ying Chiu (Kelly Chiu)

Hello! I’m a final-year master’s student in Computational Linguistics (NLP) at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Yejin Choi and Prof. Tim Althoff. I also worked closely with Prof. Shane Steinert-Threlkeld Currently, I’m the ML Alignment & Theory Scholar (MATS), worked with Evan Hubinger from Anthropic.

My research focuses on the intersection of NLP and humans. Broadly, I’m intrigued by how humans understand and think during decision-making, and how technology can help improve those decisions. My goal is to build and enhance empathetic, moral, and culturally sensitive AI, with a current focus on data collection from real-world and evaluation for model alignment on values.
