Yudong (Will) Xu

I am currently pursuing my PhD in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto, under the guidance of Professor Scott Sanner and Professor Elias Khalil. My academic journey began at the same institution, where I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) in Engineering Science majoring in Machine Intelligence followed by a Master of Applied Science (MASc) from the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, also supervised by Professor Sanner and Professor Khalil. My Master's research focused on solving the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC-AGI) using object-centric approaches.

My research focuses on developing machine learning models for solving constraint reasoning problems. I am particularly interested in generative modeling approaches, including diffusion methods and Transformer-based architectures. My work explores how these models can align their reasoning capabilities with the structure of constraints to generate valid and high-quality solutions.
