Shannon Shen

PhD Student

My research lies at the intersection between NLP and HCI. I am interested in understanding languages in scientific, legal, or clinical text from documents that are authored and used by domain experts. With newly developed NLP approaches, I study how they can enable better Human-AI collaboration to assist experts in these high-stake settings.
