Xinchen Yu

I am an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Computer Science Department at the University of Arizona.

I received my Ph.D. from University of North Texas in 2023. Before that, I earned a Master’s degree from University of Pittsburgh and a Bachelor’s degree from Zhejiang University.

My research interests lie at the intersection of natural language processing (NLP) and computational social science (CSS). I am passionate about conversational behaviors and anti-social computing. The primary goal is to make computers understand and facilitate better communications between people. My latest work centers on explaining, predicting, and preventing incivility in user-generated content. For more information, please check my CV.
