πŸ™‹ About Me

Hi there πŸ‘‹ , I'm Jiajun Liu (εˆ˜ε˜‰δΏŠ), a third-year undergraduate at Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China.

My research interests lie in Spatial Intelligence, World Models, and Embodied AI.

Currently, I focus on robot learning from non-expert data under the supervision of Prof. Mengdi Xu at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University.

I am proficient in Linux development, Python, C/C++, and PyTorch, and I actively contribute to open-source projects.

I am always open to collaborations, discussions, and new connections. Feel free to reach out!

πŸ’» Selected Open-Source Projects

Embodied Reasoner (With OSPP's funding)

Main Contributor

Embodied-Reasoner (ER.) is a multimodal model designed for deep reasoning and long-horizon interaction. Through OSPP, similar to GSoC, I was selected by the AGIROS Community as the contributor responsible for ER. I took charge of benchmarking ER. on ALFRED and contributed to resolving two key bottlenecks: ambiguity in distinguishing identical object instances and imprecise targeting of large objects, thereby improving spatial accuracy and interaction robustness.

RAGEN & VAGEN: Training Agents by Reinforcing Reasoning

Contributor

This twin of projects empower agents with RL to operate effectively in interactive and stochastic environments by handling multi-turn interactions and environmental uncertainty. I contributed to developing more environments and mask functions to compute the loss only for the parts generated by the model, which actually made training more stable.
