    Research Overview

    In recent years, my research has focused on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to enhance the automation and intelligence of AI systems. In the field of reinforcement learning, I address the challenge that traditional reward function design heavily depends on expert knowledge and involves high trial-and-error costs. I explore using LLMs for automated reward modeling, employing code generation and iterative optimization to construct complex reward functions with stronger contextual understanding, thereby improving policy learning efficiency and performance.

    Beyond reinforcement learning, I extend my work to computer vision and uncertainty modeling. In visual tasks, I develop diffusion-based interactive image matting methods that enhance fine-grained modeling capabilities through model structure transfer. For safety and robustness, I incorporate Dempster–Shafer evidence theory to detect and defend against adversarial examples through evidence consistency analysis.
