Chen Cecilia Liu

I am a second year ELLIS Ph.D. at TU Darmstadt (UKP Lab), Germany and the University of Cambridge, UK. I am supervised by Prof. Iryna Gurevych and Prof. Anna Korhonen.

My research interests lie at the intersection of NLP and ML. I am interested in efficient methods that help with cross-lingual transfers and the utilization of multi-modal information [P5, P6, P7]. In particular, I use the perspective of distribution shifts/out-of-distribution generalization [P6, P7, P9] to tackle problems in those areas. I also study and create datasets sometimes.

Previously, I studied at the University of Toronto, where I obtained both of my undergraduate and master’s degrees. My master’s research was under the supervision of Prof. Brendan Frey (PSI Lab, Toronto ML Group). I have been working in the industry for nearly a decade in the domain of NLP before I went back to school. I worked at Canadian start-ups like Meta (acquired by CZI), Wattpad (acquired by NAVER), and ElementAI.
