Michael Y. Yu

Hi! I’m a first-year thesis-based master’s student in Computer Science at McGill University. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Jackie CK Cheung. During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Renee Sieber and Prof. Nikki G. Lobczowski. I also collaborated with Jingwei Ni and Prof. Markus Leippold at ETH Zurich.

My research focuses on valuation frameworks for domain-adapted language models: how to involve experts in the loop and how to rigorously evaluate model adaptation. More broadly, I am interested in natural language processing, human–AI interaction, and responsible AI for real-world domains such as climate resilience and education.
