Hank Chi-Hsi Kung 孔啟熙

I am a visiting researcher at Indiana University Bloomington where I am working with Prof. David Crandall and Prof. Linda Smith. My current research focuses on visual representation learning in both human and machine intelligence

Previously, I was a research assistant at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, and was supervised by Prof. Yi-Ting Chen and Dr. Yi-Hsuan Tsai.

I was a research intern at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. I received my M.Sc from National Tsing-Hua University, where I was supervised by Prof. Che-Rung Lee, and B.Sc from National Taipei University.

I am actively seeking a Ph.D. position!

Research Interests

I am interested in developing Human-Like AI that can rapidly adapt and generalize from limited data or experience by reusing learned concepts and composing new ones. A promising approach to reverse-engineering human cognition is to identify its key ingredients by leveraging insights from cognitive science and developmental psychology—how do humans learn? To make progress in this direction, my research focuses on:
