Hanxu Hu


I'm a 1st Year (starting from 2024 Fall) PhD student at University of Zurich co-supervised by Prof. Rico Sennrich and Prof. Ivan Titov at University of Edinburgh, and will work closely with Dr. Jannis Vamvas.

I'm a research intern at Shanghai AI Lab and was a member of EdinburghNLP advised by Prof. Edoardo Ponti and a research assistant at WestlakeNLP advised by Prof. Yue Zhang. I have done research about instruction tuning, in-context learning, and cross-lingual transfer.

I'm interested in scalable methods in both post-training and pre-training stages of Large Language Models. And I am trying to be a full-stack Large Language Model researcher.

I often read The Bitter Lesson, learn a lot from it.
