Template A — 상대 논문이 특정될 때 (기본형)
Dear Dr. [Name],
I really enjoyed [paper title] — especially [one specific finding/design choice, one clause].
I'm a PhD student at Seoul National University working on [thread: role-playing agents / LLM psychometrics / user simulation]. In our EMNLP 2026 paper [my paper], we [one-sentence claim + one number].
We're now exploring [future direction that extends THEIR line], and your work on [their angle] is exactly the piece we keep citing in our internal discussions.
I'll be in Budapest presenting two Main-conference papers. Would you have 15 minutes to chat during the conference? I'd also be happy to walk you through our poster ([session, if scheduled]).
Best regards,

Template B — 특정 논문 확신이 없을 때 (팀 단위)
Dear Dr. [Name],
Your group's line of work on [research line — e.g., value alignment / user simulation], particularly [recent paper or system], has strongly shaped how we think about [my problem].
At SNU, we recently showed that [my most relevant result + number] ([venue]), and we're planning to push this toward [future direction] — a direction I believe overlaps with your team's agenda.
I'll be at EMNLP in Budapest (two Main papers). If you or anyone from your team is attending, I'd love to briefly introduce our work and hear where the team is heading.
Best regards,

Follow-up — 학회 후, 인턴십 문의로 전환
Dear Dr. [Name],
Thank you for taking the time to chat in Budapest — I've been thinking more about [specific point from the conversation].
As a next step, I wanted to ask: would your team be open to hosting a research intern for Summer 2027? I'd love to work on [concrete project idea, one sentence, building on the conversation]. My advisor (Prof. Yohan Jo) would be glad to provide a reference.
If there's a formal process I should follow ([posting / referral / program name]), I'll apply right away — a note from you to the team would mean a lot.
Best regards,
Woojung Song
확정 = EMNLP 2026 억셉 확인됨 · 후보 = 시기·주제상 유력하나 미확정 (9월 재스캔으로 갱신)
arXiv "EMNLP 2026" 재스캔 → 보드의 후보를 확정/제외로 갱신. 포트폴리오·포스터 일정 확정.
