Yapei Chang 常雅培

I’m a first year Ph.D. student at UMass NLP starting Fall 2022, advised by Mohit Iyyer with a research focus on natural language processing (NLP). I graduated from Smith College with a B.A. in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. During undergrad, I was fortunate to have worked with Jamie Macbeth on Conceptual Dependency parsing, and Mohit Iyyer on literary evidence retrieval and improving text text generation. Aside from research, I’m a dancer/gamer/guitar player so there’re plenty of ways to make life interesting xD
