About
Ruiting Shen
Academic Website
I am an incoming Ph.D. student at the Quantitative Methods program at UW Madison after
recently graduated from the A3SR program at NYU.
I get very excited about psychometrics measurement research, and doing data management work satisfies my OCD.
Outside of work, I do yoga, play chess (sometimes), swim (inconsistently).
Research Interests
Behavioral Process Data Modeling
I find natural human behaviors magical, modeling and exploring the sequences and patterns of natural human behaviors (e.g. clickstream data from a digital test) is always tons of fun
Log Data
Behavioral Patterns
Sequence Analysis
LLM in Psychometrics
LLMs are increasingly useful in the field of psychometrics and social science research (probably also other fields I don't know about).
LLM for data augmentation
Transformers
Structured extraction pipeline
