Hello! I'm Jin Choi!


I am a Ph.D. student in the College of Computing

at Georgia Tech advised by professor Haesun Park. 
My research interests include NLP and Visualization,
specifically in 
Interactive Learning and Incremental
Learning.

My goal is to bridge humans and AI to improve 
machine performance by utilizing human expertise.
