Sicong Jiang
I'm a final-year Ph.D. candidate at McGill University and currently a Student Researcher at
Google DeepMind. I previously served as Research Director at
Abaka AI. In the open-source AI community, I'm a core contributor at
2077AI and work closely with the
M-A-P. I received my Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the
Georgia Institute of Technology.
My research focuses on building reliable and robust AI agents powered by Large Language Models and multimodal foundation models. I develop structured benchmarks, agent environments, and reward models to improve open-ended reasoning, long-horizon planning, and robustness. My goal is to bridge foundation models and real-world autonomous systems, enabling agents that are capable and trustworthy.

Paper
LLM-as-Judge for Open-ended Tasks: Researching on rubric-based LLM evaluators for open-ended outputs and trajectories, and systematically probing judge failure modes to support trustworthy agent self-improvement.
Self-evolving Agent: Building agents that iteratively improve their policies via self-refinement loops, with a focus on reliable feedback signals and long-horizon behavior.
Research: As a founding member of the Research team, I lead benchmarking and evaluation for agentic and multimodal LLMs. I led the EditReward project and co-developed large-scale benchmarks including SuperGPQA and VeriWeb.
Advanced Dataset & Pipeline Design: Led several zero-to-one pipeline builds—architecting and deploying high-difficulty dataset solutions and production pipelines from scratch across coding, IMO-level math, multimodal data, agentic trajectories, and RL environments. These datasets and pipelines are directly used for model training and evaluation for multiple frontier AI labs.
Multimodal Data Pipelines: Built data pipelines and multi-stage QA systems for multimodal LLM projects, overseeing large-scale annotation workflows and label consistency.
Dataset Quality & Validation: Conducted analysis and validation to refine annotations and ensure robust datasets for LLM post-training.
AgentThink (Agent Reasoning): Led a collaboration with Xiaomi and Tsinghua on tool-augmented reasoning for vision-language models in autonomous driving, achieving +54% answer accuracy on open-source models.
Adversarial LLM4TS: Developed a black-box attack framework and public benchmarks for LLM-based time-series forecasting, in collaboration with the Amazon Chronos and Nixtla teams.
Multi-Agent RL Exploration: Developed a multi-agent search strategy combining MADDPG with frontier-based exploration, and built evaluation benchmarks for exploration efficiency.
