About me
I am a 4th year undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University. I have been working as a research assistant at the Center for Language and Speech Processing advised by Philipp Koehn and Kenton Murray. I major in Computer Science, Cognitive Science (linguistics focus), and Applied Mathematics (statistics focus). I'm intereted in using computational methods to model and potentially discover cognitive processes.
My research interests: Natural Language Processing, Multilingual/Cross-lingual NLP, Computational Sociolinguistics, Computational Soial Science, Low-Resource Machine Translation, Human-Centered NLP, Fair NLP
Please contact me at sli136@jhu.edu if you are interested in my work!

Current Projects
-
Robust L2 Translation
We develop a multilingual MT system from non-native source sentences to investigate the differences between human language acquisition and machine language acquisition.
-
Silver Dataset Creation
We create silver datasets in low-resource languages using machine translation and label projection. We use multilingual co-training to aid low-resource NLP tasks.
-
Mixture of Adaptors
We propose a parameter-efficient mixture of adaptor architecture for many-to-many machine translation, which is especially helpful for low-resource langauges.
-
Speech to Sign Language
We develop a diffusion model conditioned on speech signals to translate speech to animated ASL sign language.
