Bezawit Ayalew
Master's Student in Data Science
Research Focus: Natural Language Processing
Bezawit is focused on designing AI systems that enhance human-like interactions. Her research includes generating realistic, context-sensitive smiles to improve rapport and communication in client interactions with AI systems. She develops NLP and deep learning algorithms using Python, TensorFlow, and Keras to enhance AI agents' backchannel smiles, enabling broader statistical analysis. She also optimizes model performance by analyzing smile intensity and duration, taking into account both speaker and listener behaviors.
