Hyoungwook Jin
I am a PhD student at 🇺🇸 the University of Michigan, Computer Science and Engineering. I am working with Xu Wang and researchers at Lifelong Learning Lab.
I envision End-learner Programming in which learners and instructors can customize existing or even create new learning content, paths, and tools beyond given resources and classes for their personal needs. I research human-AI interaction, computer-supported cooperative work, and learning at scale to realize my vision.

ONGOING PROJECTS
RelianceScope: An Analytical Framework for Examining Students' Reliance on Generative AI Chatbots in Problem Solving
This project introduces RelianceScope, an analytical framework that (1) operationalizes reliance into nine patterns based on combinations of engagement modes in help-seeking and response-use, and (2) situates these patterns within a knowledge-context lens that accounts for students' prior knowledge and the instructional significance of knowledge components.
Paper
Benchmarking Large Language Models for Diagnosing Students' Cognitive Skills from Handwritten Math Work
This project investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can diagnose students’ cognitive skills from handwritten math responses. By introducing the MathCog benchmark and evaluating 16 LLMs, we reveal that even advanced models struggle to infer students' thinking process from fragmented visual and textual cues.
