Hansi Wang

I was an MS student at the School of Computer Science, Peking University. My research lay in lexical semantics and computational linguistics. Now I'm out of academia, and nothing really interests me anymore.

Timeline

• 2026-07 My academic career came to an end. Though I still have ARR papers to review, and a few co-authored papers yet to be accepted.
• 2026-07 Honored to receive a SAC Highlight at ACL 2026. A short academic journey from 2022 to 2026, but at least it left behind one small piece I can call my own.
• 2026-04 Completed a small "grand slam" across the three classic NLP venues — ACL, EMNLP & COLING. Even if these venues are now half-jokingly called "story-telling conferences," and even though NAACL is arguably more deserving of a place among the "big three," while COLING is even often seen as ranking below Findings.
• 2025-11 My paper was luckily accepted to the EMNLP 2025 main conference as an oral, with an OA 3 rating. Honestly I couldn't agree with the 3/3/3 scores from my three reviewers — they just didn't get it.
• 2024-11 My first first-author paper was accepted by COLING 2025. Still felt lost — a long way from the frontier of research in the age of AI.
• 2024-06 My first paper was rejected by CCL 2024. The reviewers weren't impressed. That paper — an improved version of Cilin — cost me enormous effort refining the data and handling all kinds of word-sense issues.
• 2022-01 My academic career began. At the start of my academic career, I was brimming with spirit — a newborn calf that feared no tiger.
