Minwoo (Josh) Kang

I’m a final-year PhD student in Computer Science at UC Berkeley, where I am affiliated with Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) and the SLICE Lab.
My research is advised by John Canny and John Wawrzynek.
My research spans various topics in language modeling and NLP, with applications in computational social science as well as language models as ‘‘agents’’.
Most recent interests:
- Language models as collaborative agents
- Language models as exploratory agents
- Language models as models of human behavior
