Xinting Huang

I’m a PhD student at Saarland University, advised by Michael Hahn. I’m part of Language, Computation, and Cognition Lab (LaCoCo). During my PhD, I also spent time at Tencent as a research intern. Before that, I obtained my Master’s degree in IT and Cognition at University of Copenhagen, and Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Science and Technology at Sun Yat-sen University.

My research focuses on understanding how language models work through mechanistic interpretability and theoretical analysis. During my PhD, I have developed methods for interpreting neural representations and uncovering the algorithms learned by transformers. More recently, I have also explored reinforcement learning for language model reasoning.
