Researcher

Ruoyu Zhang

Ruoyu Zhang is an AI researcher whose work spans knowledge-base question answering and language models. He earned a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence at Yuanpei College, Peking University, in 2021 and a master's degree in data science at the university's Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies in 2024. He coauthored NAMER and Crake on question answering, LLMaAA on active annotation, and papers on DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1. As of October 2026, he works at DeepSeek and coauthored DSec, a sandbox platform with a unified SDK, in September 2026.

Timeline

  1. 2017–2021

    Artificial intelligence at PKU

    He earns a bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence at Yuanpei College, Peking University, in 2021.

  2. 2021

    NAMER and master's study

    In 2021, he coauthors NAMER, an open-domain Chinese knowledge-base question-answering system with a node-based framework, and begins a master's program in data science at Peking University's Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies.

  3. 2022

    Crake table-filling method

    He coauthors Crake in 2022, a knowledge-base question-answering method that uses a causal-enhanced table-filler before relation extraction.

  4. 2023

    LLMaAA active annotation

    In 2023, he coauthors LLMaAA, which uses language models as annotators in an active-learning loop to choose data for efficient labeling.

  5. 2024

    A master's and DeepSeek-V3

    He completes a master's degree in data science at Peking University's Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies in 2024. He coauthors the DeepSeek-V3 technical report in 2024, which presents a mixture-of-experts language model with 671 billion total parameters and 37 billion activated for each token.

  6. 2025

    DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model

    In 2025, he coauthors DeepSeek-R1, which uses reinforcement learning to encourage reasoning in large language models.

  7. As of October 2026

    DeepSeek's DSec platform

    In September 2026, he coauthors DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec), a production sandbox platform that exposes several sandbox backends through a unified SDK. As of October 2026, he works at DeepSeek.

  1. The median h-index is 48 at universities and 14 at frontier AI labsIncludes Peking University. The median h-index is 48 at universities and 14 at frontier AI labs. We compare publishing careers, recent citations, dual appointments and job moves across 2,420 university researchers and 308 frontier-lab researchers.
  2. The company share of AI researchers’ top papers was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974Includes Peking University. We estimate where the people shaping AI worked when their most-cited papers appeared: the company share was 31% in 2020–2024 and 8% in 1970–1974, and Google led all organizations in 2020–2024.
  3. Companies supply the most prior-work hires at 7 of the 9 frontier AI labsIncludes Peking University. Our estimates of the organizations where 550 people worked directly before joining 9 frontier AI labs across 620 career transitions, comparing the main feeder organizations per lab.
  4. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionIncludes Peking University. We estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
