Huihan Li
Hi, my name is Huihan Li. I’m a first year PhD student working on Natural Language Processing in University of Southern California. I’m part of the INK Lab, advised by Xiang Ren. I got my M.S.E in Computer Science from Princeton University, being part of the Princeton Natural Language Processing Group and advised by Danqi Chen. I studied Computer Science and Cognitive & Linguistic Sciences at Wellesley College, working with Christine Bassem on human crowdsensing.
I am passionate about Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, and everything about languages. In high school, I competed in International Linguistics Olympiad representing China.
Outside of research, I enjoy all kinds of sports, cooking/baking, and reading.
Research
My research focuses on training and evaluating language models using tasks that require mastering knowledge of the world. As of now, I am especially interested in robust natural language understanding, generation following constraints, and question answering.
