Shirley Anugrah Hayati

(she/her)

Hi! πŸ€—

I'm a computer science PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, working with Dongyeop Kang.

Broadly, my research aims to combine NLP with human-computer interaction and computational social science.

Specifically, I am interested in:

  • understanding human behavior through NLP methods
  • exploring the field of stylistic analysis
  • designing fair and interpretable NLP
  • connecting psychology and cultural study with NLP for social good.

I obtained my masters degree from Carnegie Mellon University Language Technologies Institute and my bachelor degree in computer science from Universitas Indonesia.

Before my PhD, I worked as a research specialist at the University of Pennsylvania with Lyle Ungar and Ian Barnett on stylistic studies, explainable NLP, and digital phenotyping.

Miscellaneous

I grew up in Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia. My hobbies are writing stories, reading novels, drawing characters, making comics, learning new languages, and especially traveling. I also enjoy photography and video editing.

I've lived in four different regions in the US: East, West, South, and Midwest!

Spending two years in Pittsburgh makes me fall in love with vermillion leaves πŸ‚ in fall and snowy winter wonderland ❄️ (winter without snow is no fun!). Meanwhile, California keeps me excited in spring 🌹 and summer 🌻 How about Atlanta? You should try hiking with the trees! 🌳 For Minneapolis, πŸ’¦ water is a big plus ❀ And let's do snow activities here! β˜ƒοΈβ›Έβ›Έβ›·πŸ‚

If you want to talk about computer science, research in human-centered NLP, or grad school, feel free to reach out to me! 😁

I like naming projects or characters, so if you want name ideas, ping me as well and I'll be happy to suggest one! πŸ˜‰
