Jiaxin Pei

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University working with Alex 'Sandy' Pentland, Diyi Yang and Erik Brynjolfsson. I am affliated with the Digital Economy Lab and the NLP group. I obtained my PhD from Blablablab, UMSI (School of Information, University of Michigan) advised by David Jurgens. I also worked with Jun Li at Ross School of Business. Before coming to Michigan, I was an undergraduate student at the School of Computer Science, Wuhan University.

I have very broad interests in Human-centered AI, Natural Language Processing, and Computational Social Science. My overarching research ambition is to make human communications more effective and constructive by developing human-centered AI systems and analyzing large-scale human communication data.

My work has won a Best Student Paper Award at the ACM Conference on Equity and Access in Algorithms, Mechanisms, and Optimization (EAAMO), an Honorable Mention Award at the International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC2S2), and a Best Paper Award at the Workshop on Social Influence in Conversations. I am the core developer of POTATO, a open-source data labeling system used by institutions around the world.
