Hi, This is Jingming Chen

Jingming Chen

๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm Jingming Chen (้™ˆ็’Ÿๆ˜Ž). I graduated as a Master's student in Computer Science at UIUC, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from NYU. I was a visiting student researcher at Tsinghua, in the Knowledge Engineering Group (KEG), under the supervision of Prof. Yuxiao Dong and working closely with Dr. Dan Zhang. My research interests and current works focus on LLM agents and reasoning, particularly in the context of information-seeking and conversational systems.

Benchmark on Latent and Shifting User-Intent in Long-Horizon Agents

May 2026 ~ July 2026KDD 2027, under review
  • Designed a benchmark that represents user intents as graphs, enabling precise manipulation and measurements of human-agent intent alignment and changes in long-horizon agentic tasks via graph projection and edits.
  • Built an automated pipeline that generates text and multimodal long-horizon tasks covering coding and deep research domains, and publicly released 256 difficulty-calibrated tasks with verifiable web-evidence records.
  • Evaluated 11 frontier closed- and open-source models across various configurations using a suite of process-level and outcome-based metrics.

Agentic Framework and Data-Generation Pipeline for Deep Information-Seeking

Oct 2025 ~ May 2026NeurIPS 2026, under review
  • Designed a novel training-free agentic framework for deep research with performance that surpasses strong baselines on challenging benchmarks such as BrowseComp, GAIA, and Xbench.
  • Implemented innovative components for the agentic framework that combine hierarchical planning, self-correction, confidence-weighted reflection, folding and checkpoint-based context management, critical-error diagnosis, and trajectory rollback error-correction.
  • Utilized the framework as a training-data generation pipeline and performed SFT on two open-source LLMs, resulting in models that also outperformed baselines across multiple benchmarks.

July 2025 ~ Sept 2025Bronze Medal (5/1400+)
  • Researched and designed a multi-agent pathfinding (MAPF) algorithm for the competition.
  • Built a multi-agent LLM system that solves the MAPF problem through hierarchical roles.
  • Constructed a traditional multi-agent pickup and delivery (MAPD) solver with windowed priority-based search, rolling-horizon replanning, orientation-aware A* pathfinding, and FIFO task constraints.

Internships

CSG Smart Science & Technology

May 2024 ~ July 2024Research Intern
  • Researched, designed, and built machine-learning models that use weather data and sky imaging to generate real-time forecasts of photovoltaic power output for large-scale solar farms so that power grids can anticipate sudden changes in solar output to optimize grid efficiency.
  • Extracted motion vectors from ground-based sky imaging to create ultra-short-term forecasts of cloud movement and cloud coverage to calculate power output.
  • Integrated forecasting models with the company's energy management system to create a user-friendly GUI for visualizing power forecasts.
