Yu Luo is currently a 2nd-year Ph.D. student at Nankai University, working under the supervision of Prof. Yongqian Sun. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Nankai University in 2025. His research interests include AIOps, multi-agent systems, and reinforcement learning, with a specific focus on building collaborative multi-agent systems that leverage LLM reasoning, memory, RAG, and RL to solve complex downstream tasks. He has published 10 papers at venues including ICML, EMNLP, KDD, ASE, and TOSEM.


My recent research interests lie in: (i) Building self-evolving agents via parametric approaches; (💡 Agentic tool-use, self-evolution) (ii) Tackling belief state challenges in long-horizon and multi-turn agent interactions, with a particular focus on active reasoning tasks. (💡 Active Reasoning)

Graph of States: Solving Abductive Tasks with Large Language Models

Yu Luo, Rongchen Gao, Lu Teng, et al.

  • Graph of States is a general-purpose neuro-symbolic framework for abductive reasoning that grounds multi-agent collaboration in structured belief states, uses a causal graph and state machine to constrain reasoning transitions, and turns unconstrained exploration into a directed search that consistently improves performance on complex real-world abductive tasks.

PAGE progress-aware reinforcement learning framework

PAGE: Progress-Aware Reinforcement Learning with Hierarchical Advantage for Long-Horizon GUI Agents

Qingliang Zhang, Yongqian Sun, Yuanhong Cai, Xiaohui Nie, Jiaju Wang, Yu Luo, et al.

  • PAGE is a progress-aware reinforcement learning framework for long-horizon GUI agents that replaces sparse outcome feedback with automatically constructed progress rewards and combines inter-rollout and subtask-level advantages for fine-grained credit assignment. With an 8B vision-language model, PAGE achieves a 79.3% average success rate across three long-horizon GUI scenarios, outperforming the GRPO baseline by 16.0 percentage points.

OpsAgent: An Evolving Multi-agent System for Incident Management in Microservices

Yu Luo, Jiamin Jiang, Jingfei Feng, et al.

  • OpsAgent is a lightweight and self-evolving multi-agent framework for incident management that transforms heterogeneous observability data into structured textual evidence, coordinates specialized agents for transparent diagnosis, and continuously improves through both model refinement and accumulated operational experience.

OpsMem dual-memory reasoning framework

OpsMem: Dual-Memory Reasoning with Cross-Memory Resonance for Failure Diagnosis

Yongqian Sun, Rongchen Gao, Yu Luo, Wenwei Gu, et al.

  • OpsMem is a dual-memory framework for failure diagnosis that couples a graph-structured short-term memory of the evolving diagnostic state with a long-term memory of reusable operational experience. Through cross-memory resonance, it activates state-relevant cases and procedures during multi-agent diagnosis, then consolidates solved incidents into long-term memory for continual improvement.

Overview of Transformers in AIOps survey

Why Transformers? A Comprehensive Overview of Transformers in Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations

Binpeng Shi, Shenglin Zhang, Jingya Wang, Bowen Hao, Minyi Shao, Yu Luo, et al.

  • This survey provides a comprehensive overview of Transformers in AIOps, organizing representative work by data modality, operational target, modeling principle, and methodological approach. It further explains why Transformers suit AIOps through a capability framework, consolidates evaluation resources and strategies, and distills practical guidance for applying Transformer-based systems in real operations.

KRCA: An Efficient Root Cause Analysis System in Hyper-Scale Microservice Systems via Agentic AI

Jiamin Jiang, Jingfei Feng, Yu Luo, Qingliang Zhang, et al.

  • KRCA is an end-to-end root cause analysis system for hyper-scale microservice systems that uses API-level drilldown to prune massive service dependencies, instantiates skeleton-based causal graphs from anomalous metrics, and coordinates memory-augmented agents to verify causality and generate failure reports. Evaluated on 300 real-world failures and deployed at Kuaishou, it improves root-cause localization and failure-type classification while reducing average diagnosis time by 77.3%.
