Hello! I'm Jin Choi!

I am a Ph.D. student in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Professor Haesun Park.
My research interests have evolved to include Healthcare Recommender Systems, Interactive Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing.
I have conducted extensive research in knowledge graph mining, targeted topic modeling, and interactive visualization.
Recently, I've been working on patient clustering via integrated profiling of clinical and digital data.
