Principal Investigator

Leading the Mission

Dr. Chung-Chi Chen

Dr. Chung-Chi Chen

Assistant Professor, National Institute of Informatics, Japan

His recent research investigates how large language models and agents mediate communication, reshape human decision-making, and influence society — with particular interests in LLM-mediated communication, the social impact of agents, human-agent collaboration in high-stakes settings, and the detection and verification of forward-looking exaggeration and misinformation.

His earlier work centered on NLP and information retrieval for high-stakes domains including finance, law, and social science: forward-looking argument mining, financial text analysis, legal technology, expert decision support, and evaluation frameworks for language technologies used in consequential contexts.

He is the founder of ACL SIG-FinTech, organizer of the FinNLP/FinWeb workshop series (IJCAI, WWW, EMNLP, IJCNLP-AACL), leader of the FinNum and FinArg shared task series at NTCIR, and recipient of the SIGIR Early Career Researcher Award (Excellence in Community Engagement).
