Kuan-Hao Huang
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of California Los Angeles, advised by Kai-Wei Chang. I am also working closely with Nanyun Peng. Before joining UCLA, I received my M.S. and B.S. from National Taiwan University, where I worked with Hsuan-Tien Lin. My research focuses on natural language processing and machine learning. I am particularly interested in monolingual/multilingual text representations, cross-lingual transfer learning, low-resource information extraction, and prompt-based learning. Please see my CV for more information.
