Senior🎓
Top SchoolYoonjung Choi is a Senior Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in natural language processing, machine translation, and information extraction, currently building NLP solutions at Samsung Electronics in South Korea. She holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pittsburgh and a strong KAIST background, blending deep academic research on sentiment, event (+/-effect) extraction, and word-sense–aware methods with applied industry work in QA systems and semantic search. Her research has produced sense-level lexicons, knowledge-based WSD approaches that avoid sense-tagged training data, and joint models for event and entity identification—capabilities she has translated into production-focused features and experiments at Bosch and KAIST. Comfortable moving between linguistics-informed models and practical engineering, she brings a track record of turning nuanced language understanding problems into robust, deployable systems. An understated strength is her focus on sense-disambiguation and selectional preferences, which enables more precise sentiment and effect inference than surface-level approaches.
