I am a researcher at IQuest Research, UbiQuant, for building Coding LLM & Agent. I received my PhD from lab supervised by Dr. Chenghua Lin, Professor of Natural Language Processing at The University of Manchester. Initiated the Multimodal Art Projection (M-A-P) research community with Ge Zhang, Ruibin Yuan and Yinghao Ma – which aims to drive open-source research to cutting-edge level as the industry. During my journey, I’ve also collaborated with Dr. Jie Fu and had a lot fun.

Research

My current research focus involves:

• Recursive self-improvement (RSI).
• Building generalizable agents (IQuest-Coder-V1).
• Scalable Reinforcement Learning for LLM (TreePO).

Before that, some of my research interests involve:

• Synthetic Data for Vision-Language Model (MAmmoTH-VL),
• LM Evaluation (Encyclo-K, SuperGPQA)
• Music modelling, built the universal understanding (MERT) and generative model (YuE) for music .

More recent and detailed topics can be referred to my publication pages.
