Experience

Machine Learning Engineer
Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
Drove continuous post-training iteration for Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking (https://huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanbeige4-3B-Thinking-2511), owning the code capability track end-to-end. Performed RLVR training with Verl, running rapid experiment cycles on data, rewards, and training configurations to steadily improve code performance. Built and maintained the evaluation + regression framework for coding and software-engineering tasks, with primary benchmarks on LiveCodeBench v5/v6 and FullstackBench. Delivered measurable benchmark gains through systematic ablations, reproducible reporting, and iterative refinement of training and evaluation pipelines.

Research Intern
- Led the development of a novel multimodal data acquisition pipeline that successfully extracted high-quality instruction data from the web using carefully curated seed images. - Created one of the largest multimodal instruction datasets to date, containing 906K high-quality question-answer pairs (including 347K with images) spanning mathematics, physics, finance, chemistry, and engineering. - Implemented innovative data refinement techniques including structured content extraction, multi-path reasoning verification, and consistency filtering to ensure exceptional dataset quality. - Demonstrated the dataset's effectiveness by training MAmmoTH-VL2, which achieved state-of-the-art performance among 7B-parameter models across seven multimodal benchmarks (50.4% average accuracy). - Significantly advanced multimodal reasoning capabilities, with the trained model showing exceptional performance on mathematical tasks (MathVista: 68.1%) and complex reasoning benchmarks (MMMU-Pro: 40.7%). - Pioneered an effective approach for enhancing vision-language models through high-quality instruction data, addressing a critical bottleneck in multimodal AI development. Project fully open-sourced with dataset, model weights, and source code. Research paper completed and submitted to ICCV 2025 (under review).
