Associated Faculty About Chenhao Tan I am an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. I am also affiliated with the Harris School of Public Policy. I direct the Chicago Human+AI lab. My main research interests include Language and social dynamics. The effect of wording, how language influences social interaction, e.g., persuasion, information sharing, media selection of highlights from presidential debates. The ecosystem of ideas, how ideas relate to each other and evolve over time, e.g., idea relations and lost in propagation. Human-centered machine learning, how we can use machine learning to empower humans and augment human intelligence such as enhancing creativity and avoiding behavioral biases, e.g., human predictions along a spectrum between full human agency and full automation, human preferences of task delegation to AI, and creative writing with a machine in the loop, and the meta question of what tasks humans would like to delegate to AI systems, and to what extend. Multi-community engagement, how a person interacts with multiple communities and how communities relate to each other, e.g., users' life trajectories, community genealogy, and migrant integration in urbanization. I am also broadly interested in natural language processing, computational social science, and artificial intelligence. Here is my CV.
