Cass Zhixue Zhao

Alongside my PhD, currently, I am also a part-time research assistant in the Department of Computer Science, the University of Sheffield (expected to end by the end of this year).

RA project: Automatically mapping and assessing inequalities in public health research

PhD project

My Ph.D. study is about applying transfer learning on toxic comment classification tasks. Additionally, my research looks into the bias of pre-trained language models when handling those tasks, particularly the bias towards identity terms.
