Kuan-Hao Huang
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of California Los Angeles, advised by Prof. Kai-Wei Chang. I am also working closely with Prof. Prof. Nanyun Peng. Prior to joining UCLA, I received my M.S. and B.S. from National Taiwan University, where I worked with Prof. Hsuan-Tien Lin. My current research mainly focuses on natural language processing and machine learning, especially controlled language generation and robustness of NLP models. Please see my CV for more information.
