Hello! Welcome!!
I am
siyan.li@columbia.edu
Computer Science Ph.D. Candidate at Columbia University.
My absolutely fantastic advisors are Zhou Yu and Julia Hirschberg!! I am interested in Dialogue Systems applications in Education, Privacy, and Healthcare. I want to develop virtual agents that communicate with humans better.
I did my BS at Georgia Tech and started doing NLP research with the amazing Mark Riedl. I then completed my MSCS at Stanford, where I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Chris Manning and Chris Potts. I have been a teaching assistant for both Stanford's CS 224N and CS 224U, and a member of Stanford's Alexa Prize Socialbot Challenge team of 2022-2023.
My Chinese Name's Pinyin: lǐ sī yàn ( "Siyan" pronunciation).
