Hung-Tu Chen

I am a Research Scientist at Meta, developing LLM-based methods to improve recommendation systems.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Dartmouth’s Contextual Dynamics Lab, where my work focused on optimizing large language models to balance generalizability and specificity—integrating ideas from AI, neuroscience, and psychology.

I received my Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Dartmouth, advised by Matt van der Meer, where I studied how biological and artificial networks form robust, generalizable representations. I also conducted research at the Flatiron Institute with Alex Williams and at NYU Shanghai with Jeff Erlich.
