I am Yongheng Zhang, a master’s student (2024-2027) at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Central South University (CSU).
Currently, under the guidance of Prof. Libo Qin and Dr. Qiguang Chen, my research focuses on Large Language Models, Reasoning, and Chain-of-Thought. My research interests are as follows:
-
Large Language Model ✈️: Large Language Model Reasoning aims to empower language models with structured and logical thinking beyond pattern matching. By enabling multi-step inference and problem decomposition, it enhances reliability and interpretability, supporting complex decision-making, scientific discovery, and human-level cognition.
-
World Model 🌏: The goal of World Models for Video Understanding and Generation is to build agents that perceive, reason, and predict through dynamic visual experiences. By learning structured video representations, they enable accurate understanding, long-term prediction, and creative generation, paving the way for intelligent interaction and simulation of real-world dynamics.
