I am a master’s student at the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, University of Science and Technology of China, expected to graduate in 2027. I received my bachelor’s degree from the School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, University of Science and Technology of China in 2024.
I am currently an Algorithm Intern at Douyin Search (ByteDance), building the next-generation search system through generative retrieval and agentic system.
My research interest includes:
- Dense Retrieval
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation
- Large Language Model for Retrieval(Generative Retrieval and Agentic Retrieval)
Recent Focused Explorations:
- DeepResearch / AgenticRAG / Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning
- Generation-Augmented Retrieval
- Integration of the above areas with Reinforcement Learning (RL)
