Switching GAN-Based Image Filters to Improve Perception for Autonomous Driving
Published in University of Waterloo Thesis, 2019
A dissertation exploring GAN-based image enhancement techniques for improved autonomous driving perception.
Sinophobia on Twitter: Integrating Theory, Humans, and Machines
Published in ACM CSCW Workshop on Addressing Challenges and Opportunities in Online Extremism Research, 2021
This workshop paper explores Sinophobic discourse on Twitter by integrating social theory, human annotation, and machine learning. It highlights the value of interdisciplinary approaches for studying online extremism and racialized hate.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Immigration: From Automation to Accountability
Published in In Ana Beduschi (Ed.), Handbook on Migration and Artificial Intelligence, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2026
This chapter provides a critical overview of how artificial intelligence is deployed across immigration systems, from application processing to border enforcement. It highlights risks related to bias, opacity, and accountability, and outlines pathways for rights-respecting and transparent AI governance in migration contexts.
How Information Retrieval Systems Construct and Amplify Immigration Narratives
Published in European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2026), IR-for-Good Track, 2026
This paper examines how modern information retrieval systems shape, construct, and amplify dominant narratives around immigration. Using large-scale IR datasets and qualitative framing analysis, we show how retrieval pipelines can systematically privilege particular viewpoints, raising concerns for fairness, accountability, and responsible AI.
Where Journalism Silenced Voices: Indigenous Communities in Bangladeshi Media
Published in arXiv, 2025
This study examines how mainstream Bangladeshi journalism marginalizes Indigenous communities through framing, omission, and narrative silencing. It combines computational text analysis with critical media theory.
Partisan perspectives on AI and immigration: An analysis of Canadian parliamentary discourse (2014–2024)
