Han Cui

I am an incoming PhD in WestlakeNLP Group at Westlake University and Zhejiang University, advised by Yue Zhang. (Now a temporary research assistant.)

Before this, I got my master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology, majoring in Computer Science.

My primary research interests lie in the area of Natural Language Processing. Previously, I mainly focused on reasoning by the language models in an explicit and quantifiable manner, eg. explanation graph generation(EG3P), and reasoning on heterogeneous data(HProPro).

In June-Sep, 2023, I interned at PCG, Tencent as an algorithm engineer.
