Yulia Tsvetkov is an associate professor at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Her research group works on large language models, AI ethics and safety, and multilingual NLP, with a focus on building language technologies that are reliable, socially aware, and linguistically inclusive. This research is motivated by a unified goal: to extend human language technology beyond narrow populations and across language and cultural boundaries, thereby making NLP tools more effective and equitable for all users.
