Hi, I'm a second-year graduate student at Language Technologies Institute (LTI), Carnegie Mellon University 😊. I love drawing, arts , languages, psychology, and computer science. My research interest is natural language processing and social computing.
Now I am advised by Anatole Gershman and Jaime Carbonell and working on developing computational methods for disease prediction and survival models. Previously, I was working in question answering and semantic parsing (code generation) task under the supervision of Anthony Tomasic and collaboration with Graham Neubig.
I received my Bachelor in Computer Science degree from the University of Indonesia in 2016. I worked there as a research assistant in the Information Retrieval Lab and a teaching assistant in the School of Computer Science for 1.5 years.
It is amazing that computer science can be utilized to many areas, from analyzing social phenomena to understanding literatures. Specifically, I am interested in social computing that is applying NLP and machine learning techniques for social sciences, including psychology and humanities. Other than that, I am also interested in semantic parsing, such as code generation.

I grew up in Tangerang Selatan, Indonesia, a beautiful tropical country with more than 17,000 islands. Besides doing research, my hobbies are writing stories, reading novels, drawing characters, and traveling.
Fun fact about me is that I enjoy naming my characters! One of the unique names that I'm proud of making is Naienna Aeia Vayenna Yvelliya for a character in my the Sims freeplay. You need a name for your project? Ask me! Would be happy to name it 😉.
Spending almost two years in Pittsburgh makes me fall in love with vermillion leaves in fall and snowy winter wonderland (winter without snow is no fun!).
