Xinting Huang (黄昕庭)
I am a senior researcher at Tencent, working on large language model (LLM) alignment.
I obtained my PhD degree from The University of Melbourne in 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Rui Zhang .
Before starting my PhD, I was an undergraduate at Renmin University of China .
I have interned at Microsoft Research Asia , and Bytedance AI Lab .
My current research focuses on large language models:
- ⭐Preference alignment & Hallucination mitigation
- Efficient training & Synthetic data
Looking for internship or collaboration? drop me an email or a message.
❗Seeking interns to work on long-form factuality alignment: solving real-world hallucinations challenges a) Open-domain; b) Free-form generations; c) General scenarios; See Lilian's nice recap of recent academic progress.
