Welcome to my personal webpage! My name is Tenghao Huang, a third-year PhD candidate at USC Viterbi School of Engineering. I am adviced by Prof. Jonathan May , Prof. Muhao Chen and Prof. Xuezhe Ma. I have interned at Amazon Alexa AI, IBM Research, Microsoft’s Office of Applied Research, and Salesforce AIR.
Before I join USC, I did my bachelor at UNC-CH. I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Snigdha Chaturvedi and Prof. Colin Raffel.
I am genuinely interested in how LLM agents can help human solve real-world problems. Specifically, I am curious about how LLM agents can enhance human productivity in task-oriented scenarios, such as writing, coding, and planning. Check out our NAACL 2025 tutorial on Creative Planning with LLMs!
I am also interested in studying AI creativity, especially how AI can assist human in composing longer and more interesting narratives. Our paper Are Large Language Models Capable of Generating Human-Level Narratives? received the Outstanding Paper Award 🏆 at EMNLP 2024!
