Biography

Sarah Finch (Fillwock) is a Post-Doctoral Fellow who joined Dr. Ikseon Choi's lab in the School of Nursing at Emory University in August 2024. She is currently working on integrating natural language processing and conversational AI in education and healthcare applications. She earned a PhD in Computer Science and Informatics from Emory University and a BS in Computer Science from Michigan State University. During her PhD studies, her research targeted the evaluation and development of conversational AI and automated dialogue systems. Her work focused on developing fine-grained behavior analyses of chatbot systems and improving social awareness of chatbot systems through improved commonsense understanding. In addition, she was co-team-lead for the 1st place team of the Amazon Alexa Prize in 2020, developing a social chatbot called Emora that achieved an average rating of 3.8 out of 5.0 from thousands of real human users.
