Hwanhee (Henry) Lee

I am an Assistant Professor in Department of AI at Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea. My Research Interest is in the field of Natural Language Processing, especially about (i) Natural Language Generation and Evaluation, (ii) Factual Consistency Evaluation and Optimization, and (iii) Multimodal Language Understanding.

I recently joined the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Chung-Ang University from March, 2023 as an Assistant Professor. If you're interested in the lab, please visit this page.
