My name is Xiaokai Zhang. I'm currently a second-year PhD student in the Computer Engineering and Science School at Shanghai University, supervised by Professor Tuo Leng. Previously, I received my M.S. in computer science at Shanghai University. I am the co-leader of FormalGeo Development Team. You can find more about me on Google Scholar, ORCID, or GitHub. Alternatively, you may contact me via email.
My research goal is to enhance machine intelligence by empowering machines with mathematical abstraction and reasoning abilities that match or surpass those of humans, thereby establishing a new paradigm for General Artificial Intelligence that integrates Symbolism, Connectionism, and Behaviorism. I am currently focused on constructing a verifiable, interpretable, and scalable formal framework and neuro-symbolic system for automated Geometric Knowledge Discovery (GKD) and Geometric Problem-Solving (GPS) at or beyond the level of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). My primary research mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Formal Mathematics, including formalization theory, formal systems, reasoning-computation engines, datasets, evaluation metrics, and neural-symbolic solvers, etc. [HyperGNet] [FormalGeo] [FGeo-SSS] [FormalGeo7K] [FGeo-TP] [FGeo-Parser] [FGeo-Eval] [NSS] [DFE-GPS]
2. Iterative Learning Systems, including expert iteration, reinforcement learning, evolutionary algorithms, etc. [FGeo-DRL]
3. Agents, including multi-agent systems, LLM-driven agents, etc.

To address the limitations of unidirectional approaches, we developed a neuro-symbolic system
that integrates forward and backward reasoning.
