Bin Hu

I’m an M.S. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland.

My research interests lie in how information inside language models turns into behavior. Models often represent information they do not use, and this gap is what I find most revealing. I study it at three levels:

Before UMD, I studied computer science and mathematics at the University of Minnesota.
