Natalie Parde (University of Illinois, Chicago) – The AI Doctor Is In: Towards Intelligent Automated Support for Healthcare Tasks using Natural Language Processing
Brief Bio: Natalie Parde is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she also co-directs UIC’s Natural Language Processing Laboratory. Her research interests are in natural language processing, with emphases in healthcare applications, interactive systems, multimodality, and creative language. Her research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Office Ergonomics Research Committee, and other University of Illinois internal funding programs. She serves on the program committees of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), and the North American Chapter of the ACL (NAACL), and is a recent recipient of UIC’s College of Engineering (COE) Teaching Award. In her spare time, Dr. Parde enjoys engaging in mentorship and outreach for underrepresented CS students.
