Tianyu Jiang

I am an assistant professor in the Computer Science department at the University of Cincinnati. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Utah, advised by Prof. Ellen Riloff. My main research interests lie in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP), specifically in large language models (LLM), multimodality, commonsense knowledge acquisition, information extraction, and frame semantics.
