I am a final-year PhD student from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University. I am fortunately supervised by Professor Maosong Sun and Zhiyuan Liu. In the summer of 2019, I visited MILA and conducted research under Professor Jian Tang.

My current passion revolves around building SCALABLE solutions to AGI, which means the solutions will bring improvement simply with more resources on computation and data. This include:

1. Scaling Pretrain. Ensuring the growth of language models’ ability is measureable and predictable.

2. Scaling RL. This includes developing scaling principles for scalable oversight, PPO, MCTS, etc.

3. Scaling World Model Unifing modality and training objectives, then scaling with pretrain and RL.

In fact, I believe that we will not have achieved AGI until the model is capable of conducting scientific research independently. All the aforementioned points contribute to this objective.
