About Me

Hi, I am a graduate student specializing in Artificial Intelligence at Peking University. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies in Intelligent Science and Technology with a double major in Economics at Peking University. I am passionate about advancing AGI and solving real-world problems using AI technologies.

Research Interests

Post-Training of Large Language Models

Focus on LLMs and Multi-modal Large Models preference optimization

AI Agents

Building LLM agents with reasoning, tool use, long-term memory, and self-correction

Featured Projects

Selective Alignment for Post-Training

Designed a selective alignment strategy to optimize user preferences during post-training

Preference Optimization Pipeline

Developed reward model evaluation frameworks and efficient online DPO pipelines

STEM Reasoning Optimization with Rule-based RL

Constructed and cleaned a high-quality 85k-scale STEM multiple-choice dataset for scientific reasoning, incorporating rule-based filtering, reflection-based evaluation, and repetition penalty to enhance LLM scientific reasoning performance under Zero-RL training

Anomaly Detection Framework

Proposed frameworks for anomaly detection with limited labeled data
