Research Assistant · University of Waterloo
Hi, I’m Jiarong Liang. I’m currently a Research Assistant at the University of Waterloo, advised by Wenhu Chen, working on natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs).
I completed my B.S. in Computer Science at South China University of Technology and my M.S. at Washington University in St. Louis.

Meet ReGE, which efficiently consolidates an agent’s past attempts at a task into guidance that helps the same model do better on later attempts, letting GPT-5.6-Luna match GPT-5.6-Sol at only 28% of Sol’s cost. Read the paper or visit the project page.
-
Released StopLoss, a small monitor that learns from finished runs to predict when a coding agent is about to fail, so doomed runs can be stopped early. Read the paper, browse the project page, or grab the models and training data.
-
New preprint: FIM-Midtraining mid-trains code LLMs to fill in masked functions, a task that mirrors how an agent calls a tool and uses the result, and lifts SWE-Bench-Verified by about 3 points. The paper is on arXiv, and the checkpoints and 2.6B-token corpus are on Hugging Face.
-
SWE-Next is out! It turns real merged GitHub pull requests into 2,308 self-verifying tasks for training software-engineering agents. See the paper, the project page, and the dataset.
-
Introducing VisPhyWorld, which tests whether multimodal LLMs really understand physics by asking them to rebuild a video as runnable simulator code. The paper and benchmark data are available now.
