Siyuan Song

My name is Siyuan Song(宋思远). I am a senior Undergrad at UT Linguistics. I am a member of UT CompLing Group and part of UT NLP community. I’m fortunate to be advised by Dr. Kyle Mahowald and to work with a great team at UT.

I had the honor of visiting TedLab@MIT BCS in the summer of 2025 mentored by Thomas Clark, and working as a Visiting Undergraduate Research Intern at CoCoDev@Harvard in the summer of 2024 mentored by Dr. Jennifer Hu.

Before transferring to UT at 2024 Fall, I was an undergrad at School of Foreign Languages@SJTU. There, I had the honor of develving into the field of Computational Linguistics under the guidance of Dr. Hai Hu. I am happy to work with his CL Lab even after I left SJTU.

In general, my research aims to:

• use computational models to understand the underlying mechanism of language acquisition (first language, second language) and language processing.

• Study the role of multimodal input and multi-agent interaction in language learning.

• Evaluate language models in a scientific and cognitive-inspired way.

• Build data efficient AI system that think and learn like human.

In my spare time, I make music, do/watch sports and cook.
