Shijie is a first-year Ph.D. student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, advised by Prof. Pengfei Liu. Prior to that, he received the B.Eng. degree in intelligence science from Fudan University in 2024. He worked as a research intern in Shanghai AI Laboratory from 2023 to 2024.
Publications
Generative AI Act II: Test Time Scaling Drives Cognition Engineering
Shijie Xia, Yiwei Qin, Xuefeng Li, Yan Ma, Run-Ze Fan, Steffi Chern, Haoyang Zou, Fan Zhou, Xiangkun Hu, Jiahe Jin, Yanheng He, Yixin Ye, Yixiu Liu, Pengfei Liu
arXiv preprint, 2025
Summary: We take the position that the second act of generative AI is cognition engineering driven by test-time scaling. We organize and analyze a broad range of work on test-time scaling.
Evaluating Mathematical Reasoning Beyond Accuracy
Shijie Xia, Xuefeng Li, Yixin Liu, Tongshuang Wu, Pengfei Liu
AAAI 2025 oral presentation
Summary: We propose ReasonEval, a suite comprising a new evaluation methodology with defined metrics for assessing mathematical reasoning quality and corresponding LLM-based evaluators for automated calculation.
