Heng Wang (王珩)
Hi there, thanks for visiting my website! I am a third-year undergraduate student at Xi'an Jiaotong University, majoring in Computer Science.
I am interested in natural language reasoning and how to use language to interact with the physical world and humans, advised by Prof. Minnan Luo.
I have interned at UW NLP with Ph.D. student Shangbin Feng and Prof. Yulia Tsvetkov.
I am now working with Ph.D. student Ruiqi Zhong and Prof. Jacob Steinhardt at UC Berkeley.
My previous research includes natural language reasoning, spoiler detection, and AI agent safety. I'm a member of LUD lab, the premiere undergraduate research group @ XJTU.

Can Language Models Solve Graph Problems in Natural Language?
Heng Wang*, Shangbin Feng*, Tianxing He, Zhaoxuan Tan, Xiaochuang Han, Yulia Tsvetkov
Proceedings of NeurIPS, 2023 (spotlight; 3.4% acceptance rate)
code / poster
Are language models graph reasoners? We propose the NLGraph benchmark, a test bed for graph-based reasoning designed for language models in natural language. We find that LLMs are preliminary graph thinkers while the most advanced graph reasoning tasks remain an open research question.

Detecting Spoilers in Movie Reviews with External Movie Knowledge and User Networks
Heng Wang, Wenqian Zhang, Yuyang Bai, Zhaoxuan Tan, Shangbin Feng, Qinghua Zheng, Minnan Luo
Proceedings of EMNLP, 2023
code
We curate a large-scale network-based spoiler detection dataset (LCS), a movie knowledge base (UKM), and propose MVSD, a Multi-View Spoiler Detection framework that takes into account external knowledge and user interaction networks.

Resolving Knowledge Conflicts in Large Language Models
Yike Wang*, Shangbin Feng*, Heng Wang, Weijia Shi, Vidhisha Balachandran
, Tianxing He, Yulia Tsvetkov
arXiv preprint, 2023.
code
We introduce KNOWLEDGE CONFLICT, an evaluation framework for simulating contextual knowledge conflicts and quantitatively evaluating LLMs' abilities to handle knowledge conflicts.

BotMoE: Twitter Bot Detection with Community-Aware Mixtures of Modal-Specific Experts
Yuhan Liu, Zhaoxuan Tan, Heng Wang, Shangbin Feng, Qinghua Zheng, Minnan Luo
Proceedings of SIGIR 2023.
code
We propose community-aware mixture-of-experts to address two challenges in detecting advanced Twitter bots: manipulated features and diverse communities.
