Research

Our ongoing and future research primarily focuses on "Next-Generation Automated Artificial Intelligence", aiming to elevate the level of automation in AI systems. We are particularly interested in exploring AI model design driven by Large Language Models to enhance interactivity, reduce the complexity and cost of deploying AI across various scientific fields, and facilitate its practical application. Our research aims to enable professionals and non-professionals to swiftly integrate AI models into diverse, real-world production and R&D settings, accelerating innovation and deployment.
