Hi, I am Yue (/yoo-eh/) Dong, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California, Riverside. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science at McGill University and Mila, supervised by Dr. Jackie Cheung. I was fortunate to intern at Google AI, AI2, Microsoft, and Noah’s Ark Lab during my PhD.
My research interests include natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I lead the Natural Language Processing group at UCR, which develops natural language understanding and generation systems that are controllable, trustworthy, and efficient. I am looking for self-motivated PhDs / masters / interns to work in the area of NLP, please consider applying if you are interested in working with me.
I cannot advise more master’s students at UCR in 2023. Due to the high volume of requests, I won’t be able to respond to further emails on this matter.
