Research

My long-term research interest is: how can intelligence grow and scale, while remaining precisely calibrated to the complexity of the real world?

More specifically, I am currently studying how to use Agents to synthesize data, improve LLM performance in science-related domains, and further build the benchmarks that science needs.

As human-generated data is rapidly compressed into model intelligence, synthetic data is destined to become a key approach for LLM self-learning and unbounded growth. At the same time, we need to continuously design high-quality benchmarks to calibrate model intelligence. These benchmarks are also the ultimate reward in reinforcement learning: we propose increasingly challenging benchmarks, and then use reinforcement learning and related techniques to design more fine-grained reward signals to train the self-learning of LLMs.
