International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2026
I am a junior at the University of Liverpool, UK, and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China.
I am fortunate to work with Prof. Arman Cohan and Yilun Zhao in Yale NLP lab. Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at PremiLab, collaborating closely with Prof. Qiufeng Wang.
I am interested in the discrepancy between reality and AI systems, including long-tail alleviation, sparse trajectory, reward modeling and optimization, formal methods integration, and the deployment of these in LLMs and agents.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my work. Also, I am planning to apply for 2028-Fall PhD positions.
