SHORT BIO
Lu Wang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Michigan. Previously until 2020, she was at Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University. She completed her Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University, under supervision of Professor Claire Cardie. Lu's research is focused on natural language processing, computational social science, and machine learning. More specifically, Lu works on algorithms for text summarization, language generation, reasoning, argument mining, information extraction, as well as novel applications that apply such techniques to understand media bias and polarization and other interdisciplinary subjects. Her work won best paper honorable mention award at CHI 2023, outstanding paper award at ACL 2017, and best paper nomination award at SIGDIAL 2012. Lu currently serves as ACL equity director. She is a co-founder and an officer of ACL Special Interest Group on Summarization (SIGSUMM).
