Hi! I'm Xiaoxi Li.
I am currently a 3rd year PhD student at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China, mentored by Prof. Zhicheng Dou. I earned my bachelor's degree (2019-2023) at Nankai University.
Iโm currently a REDstar research intern focusing on foundation agent research at Xiaohongshu Inc. I have published 10+ papers in top-tier AI conferences and journals (6 first-author papers), including NeurIPS, ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, SIGIR, and TOIS.
- Foundation Agents: Developing general-purpose agentic LLMs (DeepAgent, AEPO, Tool-Star);
- Deep Research: Enhancing long-horizon reasoning with web information seeking (WebThinker, Search-o1, HiRA);
- Retrieval-Augmented LLMs: Improving large language models with knowledge retrieval (RetroLLM, CorpusLM, UniGen).
