About
I am Deputy Chief Scientist and Head of NLP at Huawei Xiaoyi, leading the research and development for LLM Agents, Question Anaswer, and Search Engine. In 2026, the Xiaoyi Deep Research system ranked #1 on both Deep Research Bench and Deep Research Bench II, the two most recognized benchmarks in the field. I also led the open-source release of EvoScientist, a multi-agent self-evolving framework for autonomous scientific discovery that has attracted broad community attention.
My current focus is on building next-generation AI systems that can autonomously research, reason, and answer complex questions at scale. I hold 30+ patents and have published at top venues including ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, and IEEE Transactions.

Projects
EvoScientist — Vibe Research Agent Framework
A multi-agent self-evolving framework for autonomous scientific research: agents iteratively form hypotheses, design experiments, and synthesize findings — with the system continuously improving its own research strategies over time. Accompanies the Xiaoyi Deep Research system that ranked #1 globally on both Deep Research benchmarks in 2026.
A large-scale Deep Research system built on a multi-agent self-evolving architecture: agents autonomously decompose complex queries, retrieve and synthesize multi-source evidence, and continuously refine their own research strategies through self-evolution. Ranked #1 on both Deep Research Bench and Deep Research Bench II in 2026.
Xiaoyi Question & Answer
A production-grade intelligent QA system powering Huawei's Xiaoyi assistant, covering open-domain question answering, knowledge-grounded dialogue, and intent-aware retrieval at scale across hundreds of millions of queries.
