Yiling Chen

Yiling Chen is a Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, affiliated with the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Her primary teaching area is Computer Science, and she is recognized for her expertise in the emerging field of social computing. Her research interests include economics and computation, theory of computation, artificial intelligence, and computation and society. Chen's work explores the intersection of computer science with social and economic systems, with a focus on understanding and designing mechanisms for information and resource allocation. She is also involved in interdisciplinary research that bridges computer science with economics and applied mathematics.

Yiling Chen is a researcher at Harvard University focusing on social computing, prediction markets, peer production, algorithmic game theory, and auction theory. Her work explores mechanisms for information aggregation, fairness in risk assessments, and incentives in crowdsourcing. Chen's research includes evaluating the replicability of scientific experiments, using prediction markets to estimate research reproducibility, and designing market mechanisms for prediction. She also investigates algorithm-in-the-loop decision making and the design of incentives for online platforms. Her contributions span both theoretical and applied aspects of algorithmic systems, with an emphasis on aligning incentives and ensuring transparency in automated decision processes.
