On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, the Department of Computing, Information and Mathematical Sciences, and Technology (CIMST) hosted an AI Talk at Chicago State University in collaboration with the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students, gathered in the lecture hall, eagerly awaiting the much-anticipated research presentations by two promising PhD students: Christopher Clarke and Siyang Liu.

Dr. Mohammad Abdus Salam, the esteemed department chair, stood at the front of the room, his warm smile welcoming everyone to the event he had meticulously organized. The atmosphere was charged with intellectual curiosity as the audience settled into their seats, ready to delve into the cutting-edge research that lay ahead.

Christopher Clarke took to the stage first, his confidence evident as he began his presentation on "Towards Enhanced Human-AI Interaction: A Holistic Approach to Personalization in Natural Language Processing." With poise and clarity, he articulated his vision for revolutionizing human-AI interaction through personalized natural language processing systems. His research promised to bridge the gap between users and AI, fostering more intuitive and effective communication channels.

As Christopher concluded his presentation to rousing applause, Siyang Liu stepped forward, poised to share her insights on "Task-Adaptive Tokenization: Enhancing Long-Form Text Generation Efficacy in Mental Health." With a blend of expertise and passion, Siyang delved into her innovative approach to improving long-form text generation  in the realm of mental health. Her research aimed to empower AI systems to generate tailored content, potentially revolutionizing support services in this critical domain.

Dr. Salam beamed with pride as he witnessed the intellectual exchange unfolding before him. This event epitomized the spirit of collaboration and innovation that defined the CIMST department, showcasing the dedication of its faculty and the brilliance of its students.

As the event drew to a close, the audience dispersed, their minds buzzing with inspiration and ideas sparked by the research presented. Christopher Clarke and Siyang Liu had left an indelible mark on the CIMST community, their contributions poised to shape the future of human-AI interaction and mental health support through the power of technology and innovation.
