Yixiang Chen 陈逸翔 Eric

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in the Dual Doctoral Degree Programme in Robotics and Embodied Intelligence, jointly offered by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and the University of Macau (UM). I will be supervised by Prof. Wanyu Lin at PolyU and Prof. Li Li at UM.

I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Data Science and Technology at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to conduct research under the guidance of Prof. Yangqiu Song, with mentorship from Tianshi Zheng, to whom I am deeply grateful for their invaluable guidance.

I am generally interested in Natural Language Processing. More specifically, I focus on advancing the multi-agent collaboration capabilities in Multi-Agent LLM Systems. Previously, I focused primarily on the logical reasoning capabilities of large language models. In Spring 2025, I co-authored a paper The Curse of CoT on LLM logical reasoning (accepted to TMLR) with Tianshi Zheng under the supervision of Prof. Yangqiu Song.

Feel free to reach out for collaborations or discussions!
