Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYi Liu is a research scientist and Ph.D. in computer science with nine years of experience applying deep learning to intelligent image and document analysis, particularly for cultural heritage and education. At UNL he has led interdisciplinary pilots—such as image-based archival systems and AI-powered distortion detection—and helped author NEH grant proposals to advance machine learning for archaeological and library collections. His research blends novel neural layers and pseudo-ground-truth techniques to make noisy historical data and OCR more usable, reducing reliance on exhaustive labeled datasets. Comfortable in both academic and production contexts, he has practical systems experience from game server development to Library of Congress internships, and a knack for turning scholarly inquiry into deployable tools that bridge ML and the digital humanities.
