SANGAH LEE / TEACHING

Teaching

My teaching spans the foundations of computational linguistics and current research on large language models. Undergraduate courses emphasize both conceptual foundations and hands-on technical skills, while graduate seminars explore a different LLM-related research theme each semester, ranging from linguistic probing and reasoning to evaluation, fine-tuning, and model behavior.
