I am a PhD student starting from September 2024, supervised by Prof. Chenhui Li at the Shanghai Institute of AI Education, East China Normal University, and also working with the InternLM team led by Dr. Qipeng Guo at the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Shanghai Innovation Institute. I completed my Academic Master’s degree in Computer Science and Technology at East China Normal University supervised by Prof. Chenhui Li and Prof. Changbo Wang (2021-2024) and my undergraduate studies in Mathematics & Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at East China University of Science and Technology (2017-2021). My research focuses on cross-modal LLM Agents, multimodal image editing, and computer graphics. I have served as a reviewer for top-tier conferences including IEEE VIS and CVPR.

💼 Internships

• 2024.5 - Present: Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, LLM Algorithm Research Intern
  • Research on Open-Compass GAOKAO evaluation and InternLM2-WQX-VL-20B
  • Developed an innovative Verifier-Guided workflow for quality control of Web Data and PDF corpora in InternLM3 project. Proposed a novel reflection-based criteria optimization method, improving bad case detection F1-score from 66% to 86%. More details can be found in CritiQ.
  • Conducting research on LLM-as-Judge and synthetic data generation for large language model pre-training. Implemented domain filtering and Verifier-Guided Rephrase techniques, reducing required training data by 85% while maintaining model performance.

💻 Projects

Open Source Course Sharing Initiatives

• ECUST-CourseShare

  
  A comprehensive course resource sharing platform for East China University of Science and Technology. This project aims to build a collaborative platform where students can share course materials, exam papers, and study resources. It covers various departments and provides historical exam papers, review materials, teacher courseware, and homework answers.

• ECNU-PGCourseShare

  
  Graduate course resource sharing platform for East China Normal University. This project extends beyond basic course materials to include academic intelligence resources, helping graduate students navigate research fields, discover collaboration opportunities, and access cutting-edge academic tools and best practices.

Community Platform

• ECNU Forum

  
  A modern forum platform based on Flarum for East China Normal University students. The live forum is accessible at ecnu.im, providing a space where ECNU students can freely communicate and exchange ideas. This is an unofficial community-driven platform that fosters academic and social interaction among students.
