Tiberiu Sosea

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Chicago and I am advised by Professor Cornelia Caragea. My research interests lie in emotion detection and sentiment analysis. Some of my recent work focuses on developing new semi-supervised learning methods for emotion detection. I was an intern at Google with the Cloud AI and Counter Abuse Research teams. I did my undergrad in Romania at the Politehnica University of Bucharest.
