Songgaojun (Amy) Deng

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

Previously, I was a Postdoc Researcher at the University of Amsterdam, working with Prof. dr. Maarten de Rijke and Prof. dr. Sebastian Schelter since January 2023.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2022, supervised by Dr. Yue Ning.

Research interests

I am broadly interested in machine learning and data mining motivated by real-world problems in areas such as social science, health informatics, and e-commerce. My research focuses on enhancing the explainability and robustness of predictive modelling for temporal data. A few recent topics are:

  • Robustness and generalization for time series under distribution shift
  • Explainable human event modelling and reasoning with large language models
  • Understanding large language models, their capabilities, limitations, and reliability
