About

I am a researcher, linguist, data scientist, and educator in the ethical AI space. Currently, I leverage my academic research background to build machine learning models and label ontologies that detect biased language. I am seeking opportunities to drive and evangelize innovative AI/ML/NLP research through my technical, research, and communication skills. Read more about me on my website: https://chloemwillis.com/
