Yejin Choi is a professor of computer science at Stanford University (previously University of Washington) and a senior director at NVIDIA Research. Her work centers on natural language processing, commonsense reasoning, and the cognitive and social dimensions of language in AI.
She is widely cited for work on commonsense knowledge (ATOMIC, COMET), neural theorem proving of social reasoning, and critical analyses of what large language models actually understand versus mimic. She is a vocal advocate for a richer scientific understanding of LLMs' limits.
Choi is a MacArthur Fellow (2022) and has received multiple best-paper awards in NLP. Her TED talk "Why AI is incredibly smart and shockingly stupid" reached a broad public audience.
