Zhiyuan Ma

I am a Master at the School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and a member of the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Shandong University (SDU) in June 2023.

My current research interests primarily focus on:

  • LLM with reasoning: enhancing LLMs' capabilities to solve real-world tasks (e.g., mathematical reasoning) by leveraging knowledge in a human-like manner.
  • LLM with tool learning: Enhancing LLMs' problem-solving capabilities through building agents to utilize external tools or automatically create reusable tools.
