A group of researchers at @HKUST working on fun stuff that matters, with 6 main+finding papers to be presented at ACL’25. Follow for latest updates :)Joined April 2024
Check out this awesome paper on a new paradigm about thinking with imagination/images led by Prof. May Fung @May_F1_ and her super productive team at HKUST!
🎉 Congrats to our students on the new #EMNLP2025 paper acceptances! 1⃣ LLM Natural-Formal Hybrid Reasoning arxiv.org/abs/2505.23703 2⃣ Text-Instructed Image Editing on Medical Domain arxiv.org/abs/2506.01921 3⃣ Knowledge Boundary Aware Multi-Compositional Reasoning…
Actually, we implemented this kind of capability in our AdaCtrl paper three months ago by injecting difficult-aware tags (i.e., easy, hard, adaptive) to trigger different reasoning behaviors of LLMs.

🎓Introducing EduVisAgent: a next-generation AI teaching assistant built to transform STEM education with intelligent, visual, and interactive learning.
💡From static answers to dynamic, guided reasoning — EduVisAgent redefines how AI supports real-world teaching and learning.
🚀 I'm looking for full-time research scientist jobs on foundation models! I study pre-training and post-training of foundation models, and LLM-based coding agents. The figure highlights my research/publications.
Please DM me if there is any good fit! Highly appreciated!
Thank you for the posting. This is a great project co-lead by the wonderful incoming PhD student of Prof. May Fung @May_F1_ The most valuable insights we found is that we could use similar reward design to minimize the reasoning and acting without sacrificing the accuracy a lot.…
