2024-2025 Discovery Series | March 14th

Join Dr. Shanu Sushmita as she explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) in music. With over a decade of experience in machine learning and data science across various sectors, Dr. Sushmita will highlight how NLP is revolutionizing industries, with a specific focus on content moderation in music. Her groundbreaking work aims to improve the detection of explicit content in song lyrics, using AI to create systems that can more accurately identify harmful material while respecting context. Dr. Sushmita’s innovations are designed to make digital platforms safer, offering new methods to automatically analyze and categorize content. In this session, she will introduce her research on the SAFE (Segmentation and Formatting Enhanced) framework, a novel machine learning-based approach that enhances explicit content detection in song lyrics. Discover how her work, along with 2 of her students, Peng Zhang and Jiawen Xie, in NLP is shaping the future of AI applications, improving accuracy, and fostering responsible digital experiences.
