About
Shi Yin Hong
I am a computer engineering and computer science major at the University of Arkansas. As a research assistant, I am fortunate to contribute to AI projects in natural language processing (NLP), graph representation learning, and computer vision. My amazing research mentors are Prof. Susan Gauch, Prof. Lu Zhang, and Prof. Justin Zhan.
My current projects are on 1) mental health support with large language models and 2) interpretable subgraph Graph Neural Networks. I am broadly interested in socially responsible NLP that are interpretable and generalizable. Meanwhile, I am a proponent of AI for social good.
