Do you find RL makes the LLM reasoning more stubborn? Keep repeating the same answers? How to make multi-turn conversational history be helpful in RL training? We identify a simple "try again" feedback can boost reasoning and make RL training a conversational manner!

🧵 Academic job market season is almost here! There's so much rarely discussed—nutrition, mental and physical health, uncertainty, and more. I'm sharing my statements, essential blogs, and personal lessons here, with more to come in the upcoming weeks! ⬇️ (1/N)

Today I learned a student of mine from China gave up waiting for his Canadian visa after over a year without updates: 1. He was a Vector Scholarship awardee. 2. He had to set aside $20K under the Direct Stream (for faster visa processing), despite being my funded student. 3. He

I’m gonna be recruiting students thru both Language Technologies Institute | @CarnegieMellon (NLP) and CMU Engineering & Public Policy (Engineering and Public Policy) for fall 2026! If you are interested in reasoning, memorization, AI for science & discovery and of course privacy, u can catch me at ACL! Prospective students fill this form:

I'm deeply honored to speak at IJCAI2025 next month. It's both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking (in the best way possible) - especially knowing the other amazing speakers on the lineup. Looking forward to sharing our recent work and some thoughts on Science-Inspired AI!

Getting to know you as a student and dearest friend is the best part of my journey. Thank you for lifting me up with your fearless courage too, especially when things were tough. Keep dreaming big and charging ahead! I'm always cheering for you and proud of you! Manling Li

Excited to do a talk at Agentic AI Summit! Session 4: Foundations of Agents 📍 Frontier Stage 📅 2:45pm PT Will talk about "RAGEN: Training Agents via Reinforcing Reasoning", including: - How to monitor RL training to converge for multi-turn LLM Agents? RAGEN

Still buzzing from the incredible #AgenticAI Summit at UC Berkeley on 8/2 — 2,000+ joined in person, 30,000+ tuned in online. ⚡🌍 The energy was electric—visionaries, builders & researchers shaping the future of agentic AI! Missed it? Watch the recordings:

Excited about the heated discussions about agents. Learned a lot from industry perspective about agents.

All week during rebuttals, I have started each day with the same reminder: stay humble, stay kind, don't let this turn me mean. When I was doing PhD, reviewers never felt this mean. There is a bright-eyed student sitting on the other side, and such reviews will destroy
