About me
Hello! I am Ruiyi Wang, a 1st-year PhD student at the University of California, San Diego. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Prithviraj Ammanabrolu. I obtained my Master’s degree at the Language Technologies Institute, Carnegie Mellon University. Previously, I graduated with a dual degree from the University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering, and a minor in Math. I have been fortunate to work with many amazing mentors, including Graham Neubig, Maarten Sap, Yonatan Bisk, Fei Fang, Hong Shen, Zhiyu Zoey Chen, Katia Sycara, Nikola Banovic, Florian Schaub, Rui Wang, Jane Im, and Hao Zhu.
I am interested in improving reasoning, social intelligence, and empathy in language agents, with an interactionist perspective to unraveling language cues, simulating interactions, and modeling cognition. Please feel free to shoot me an email if you are interested in collaborating with me!
