Langlin Huang | 黄浪林

I am a first-year PhD student at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), luckily advised by Prof. Jiaxin Huang.

Before that, I received my Mater degree at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT/CAS) in Jul. 2024, where I was advised by Prof. Yang Feng at ICT Natural Language Processing (ICTNLP) group. I received my B.E. degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Jun. 2021.

Research

My research interests mainly lie in natural language processing and machine translation. Particularly, I am interested in:

  • Representations in various text granularities, and the application on Translation Models / Language Models.
  • Large language models (LLMs) for machine translation / multilingual ability of LLMs.
