Steffi Chern

🎓 Hi everyone! I’m Steffi, currently an undergraduate senior studying Statistics and Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University, seeking opportunities to pursue a Ph.D. degree in NLP/ Computer Science starting Fall 2024.

✨ My research interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML). I’m particularly interested in developing rigorous evaluations of large language models (LLMs) that delve deeper than surface-level task performance.

🚀 In this rapidly evolving field, I strive to contribute towards establishing more reliable and comprehensive evaluation frameworks to better understand the capabilities and limitations of existing AI systems, thereby enhancing their trustworthiness and ensuring their behaviors follow human intentions.

⛳ I’m also a student-athlete, playing NCAA Women’s Golf at Carnegie Mellon University.
