Research Topics研究方向
My research focuses on LLM reasoning and evaluation, self-evolving agents, and multimodal retrieval-augmented generation. I lead work on hierarchical reasoning benchmarks (HiBench), multimodal retrieval agents (SUPERGLASSES / SUPERLENS and QA-Dragon), experience-driven strategy iteration (A/B Agent), and the decoupling of offline LLM intent reasoning from online retrieval (AIR). My earlier research in computer vision is now a supporting background to these directions.

[KDD'25 Benchmark & Dataset Track] HiBench: Benchmarking LLMs Capability on Hierarchical Structure Reasoning

Li, Peter H.F. Ng, Qing Li
Hierarchical Reasoning · LLM Benchmark · 30 Tasks · 39,519 Queries
As first author and project lead, I led benchmark design and code development for evaluating hierarchical structure reasoning in LLMs. I built tree, JSON and formula generators with controlled depth, width and node counts, algorithmic ground-truth answers and unified prompts, and incorporated code and paper tasks. The benchmark contains 30 tasks and 39,519 queries.
We evaluated 20 LLMs from 10 families, comparing structural representations, complexity and chain-of-thought prompting. I constructed instruction-tuning data that yielded average relative gains of 88.84% for Llama-3.1-8B and 31.38% for Qwen2.5-7B. The dataset and modular evaluation toolkit are open-source, supporting reproducible evaluation and further research on structure-aware reasoning.
[CVPR'26 Findings] SUPERGLASSES: Benchmarking Vision Language Models as Intelligent Agents for AI Smart Glasses Zhuohang Jiang, Xu Yuan, Haohao Qu, Shanru Lin, Kanglong Liu, Wenqi Fan, Qing Li
AI Smart Glasses · VQA Benchmark · Vision-Language Models · Multimodal RAG
As first author, I built SUPERGLASSES, a benchmark for evaluating vision-language models as smart-glasses agents, and SUPERLENS, the accompanying multimodal agent. The real-device dataset contains 2,422 QA pairs across 14 domains and 8 question types, with tool-use traces. Domain routing selects direct answering or RAG, while open-vocabulary detection localizes small objects and multi-hop questions are decomposed into single-hop subqueries.
The agent searches image and text evidence, cleans HTML and reranks evidence chunks. A two-level Redis cache reuses query-to-URL and URL-to-content results. We evaluated 26 model/RAG variants; SUPERLENS improved the Qwen2.5-VL-7B score from 32.82 to 44.10, a gain of 11.28 points.
[arXiv Preprint, 2026] A/B Agent: A Self-Evolving Agent for Strategy Iteration in Industrial A/B Testing Zhuohang Jiang, Yuxin Chen, Yongsen Pan, Zheng Hu, Wenqi Fan, Qing Li, Hongyang Wang, Jun Wang, Wenwu Ou
Self-Evolving Agents · Tree-RAG · A/B Testing · Strategy Optimization
As first author, I developed a self-evolving LLM agent for strategy iteration in industrial A/B testing. It organizes experience by business domain, scenario, stage and optimization objective. Hybrid sparse/dense retrieval, tree-path proximity weighting and Qwen-Reranker retrieve relevant evidence; generated strategy configurations are checked for engineering feasibility and guardrail risks.
The experiment tree records strategies, parameters, metrics and context, enabling parent-child and sibling-branch comparisons. Confidence-weighted gains and guardrail-loss penalties guide local search within valid parameter ranges, or a switch to another strategy branch when gains stall. Recording successful and failed trials provides a reusable feedback loop for subsequent iterations. This work is a 2026 arXiv preprint.
[KDD'25 Workshop] QA‑Dragon: Query‑Aware Dynamic RAG System for Knowledge‑Intensive Visual
Question Answering Zhuohang Jiang, Pangjing Wu, Xu Yuan, Wenqi Fan, Qing Li
Query-Aware RAG · Knowledge-Intensive VQA · Multi-Hop Reasoning
I am the first author of QA-Dragon, a multimodal retrieval-augmented generation system for complex visual questions. The system drafts a candidate answer first, then decides in a query-aware manner whether that draft should be returned directly, verified through search, or handed to the retrieval-augmented pipeline.
Tool selection follows the detected knowledge gap of the draft, and the retrieval pipeline combines target cropping, image and text retrieval, evidence reranking, and answer verification to ground the final answer in retrieved evidence. Under single-source, multi-source, and multi-turn question settings, the system improves over the baseline by 5.06%, 6.35%, and 5.03% respectively.
As first author, I developed AIR to decouple LLM intent reasoning from online serving. Offline, an LLM maps behavior records, user attributes and object descriptions into hierarchical intent paths, stored as reusable atomic knowledge. This moves semantic generation out of the online request path and makes the resulting knowledge cacheable and composable.
Online, AIR builds intent trees with behavior weights and time decay, retrieves target-relevant intent chains and fuses evidence with multi-head attention. Retrieval and composition approximate sequence-level semantic reasoning without live LLM calls. The system achieves approximately 400× throughput improvement, demonstrating an efficient path from offline LLM-generated knowledge to online evidence retrieval and composition.
