Runhao Li

I am a master's student in Computer Science (AI) at the University of Southern California, graduating in May 2027.

I build and evaluate LLMs and agents. My interests include reliable agent systems, model alignment, diffusion language models, and physical reasoning.

Previously, I worked on machine learning at TikTok, General Motors, and Shanghai AI Laboratory, with research experience at Princeton and UC Berkeley.

I am interested in how models learn, reason, and act reliably — from better training signals to agents that understand the world around them.

PhysGraphNet: Physical-State Scene Graphs via Latent Graph Reasoning and Counterfactual Supervision
Runhao Li, Zhengtao Yao, Yan Wen, Guang Yang, Siheng Wang, Chenhao Wei, Rongchao Zhang, Guoqing Ma, Haoyan Xu, Junhao Dong
NeurIPS, 2026 · Poster

openreview  /  pdf

Predicts physical-state scene graphs from an image and a goal, combining latent graph reasoning with counterfactual supervision to support physical reasoning.

Schematic of geometry consistency across video frames

VideoGPA: Distilling Geometry Priors for 3D-Consistent Video Generation
Hongyang Du, Junjie Ye, Xiaoyan Cong, Runhao Li, et al.
ICML, 2026

paper  /  openreview

Uses geometry-derived preference signals to improve the 3D consistency of video diffusion models without human preference annotations.

Schematic of masked tokens becoming a complete sequence

PreDiff-LM: Pretrained Discrete Masked Diffusion Language Modeling with Hybrid Attention
Runhao Li, Zhengtao Yao, Xupeng Chen, et al.
Preprint, 2026

paper  /  openreview  /  code

Studies hybrid attention as a way to adapt causal language models to bidirectional denoising, with controlled comparisons of generation quality and training efficiency.

Schematic of multiple evaluators selecting preference data

Less Data, Better Alignment: Data-Centric Multi-Evaluator Agreement for Preference Optimization
Zhengtao Yao, Runhao Li, Xupeng Chen, et al.
Preprint, 2026

paper  /  code

DMAPO selects 1,871 training examples from 54,236 candidates using multi-evaluator agreement and critique, examining data quality in preference optimization.

Schematic of composing motion, scene, and object priors

RoboDream: Compositional World Models for Scalable Robot Data Synthesis
Junjie Ye, Rong Xue, Basile Van Hoorick, Runhao Li, et al.
Preprint, 2026

paper  /  project

Composes robot motion, scene priors, and object priors to synthesize demonstrations in new environments and support data-efficient robot learning.

Schematic of 3D data, learning, and applications

A Cookbook of 3D Vision: Data, Learning Paradigms, and Application
Hongyang Du, Zongxia Li, Dawei Liu, Runhao Li, et al.
CVPR OpenSUN3D Workshop, 2026

paper  /  openreview

A data-centric map of 3D representations, datasets, learning paradigms, and applications spanning reconstruction, generation, and world modeling.
