Howard Chen
I am a fifth year PhD student in the Princeton NLP Group and the Princeton Language + Intelligence center, co-advised by Professor Danqi Chen and Professor Karthik Narasimhan.
My research goal is to build controllable agents that can operate on a long interactive horizon and evolve over time. I am particularly interested in memory — how we can design proper structure and algorithm to make it elastic and can self-reorganize (easily updatable), robust (insensitive to perturbation), and persistent (minimal forget). I am also interested in related topics such as unlearning, mechanistic understanding, and safety from the memory perspective.
Prior to Princeton, I was an ML researcher at ASAPP and research assistant at Cornell NYC Tech. I recieved my M.Eng. from Cornell University and B.S. from National Taiwan University.
