Bibliometric figures come from OpenAlex (2026-10-02) and cover the author's entire public record, not just the papers listed here. Reproducibility signal comes from Evolve's own reviews.
Research profile
Output—
Output data is insufficient for this profile: the underlying record provides no computed publication counts or venue-level productivity, so total output volume cannot be characterized. This axis would measure the quantity and distribution of works over time and across venues.
Impact—
Impact data is insufficient: citation-based indicators are not reliably available in this record, and the snapshot's reported h-index of 0 reflects missing coverage rather than measured influence. This axis would measure citation uptake and citation-based indices.
Focus0/100
The focus dimension scores 0, and the raw topics explain why: the OpenAlex record spans five labels — Reinforcement Learning in Robotics (2), Robot Manipulation and Learning, AI-based Problem Solving and Planning, Artificial Intelligence in Games, and Explainable AI — while the field distribution splits evenly (0.5/0.5) between reinforcement learning for LLM agents and LLM-based agents. On a thin, name-resolved record this reads as diffuse tagging rather than demonstrated breadth, so the zero should be treated cautiously.
Collaboration71/100
The collaboration dimension scores 71, supported by 35 distinct coauthors in the recent bibliographic window. The recurring names Feida Zhu and Steven Hoi each appear twice in the frequent-coauthor list, alongside Ming Ma, Yi Zhu, Yiran Zhong, Chonghan Liu, Qichao Wang, Yanhao Jia, and Tianming Yang. Both catalog papers sit in middle author positions on multi-author arXiv preprints, a pattern consistent with large industrial research teams rather than small academic groups.
Activity32/100
The activity dimension scores 32, reflecting a thin recent record: recent3yWorks is 2 and the countsByYear series contains only 2026 with 2 works. Both outputs are arXiv preprints from 2026, so measured activity is concentrated in a single year with no earlier publication trail in this snapshot. The low score signals limited observable cadence rather than inactivity outside the indexed window, and it should be re-read as coverage improves.
Reproducibility38/100
The reproducibility dimension scores 38 (reproMean 38 over 2 reviewed papers). ProCredit rates medium: consistent gains across three AppWorld scales with clean ablations, though bounded by verifier coverage. Qwen-Planner-Agent rates low: its headline 77.05% on the self-built MobilePA-Bench lacks significance tests, weakening external verification. The composite suggests work whose evidence quality depends heavily on whether benchmarks are self-constructed or established.
Research summary
Pengkun Jiao is a researcher at Alibaba Group whose profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data (OpenAlex). The current record is early-stage and concentrated on agentic reinforcement learning and LLM-based agents: the field distribution splits evenly (0.5/0.5) between reinforcement learning for LLM agents and LLM-based agents, and the recent three-year window contains 2 works, both 2026 arXiv preprints on which Jiao appears in a middle author position. The Evolve-reviewed catalog includes two papers. ProCredit (2026) reframes credit assignment in agentic RL, converting verifiable acceptance checks into per-turn progress rewards; it reports consistent gains across three AppWorld scales with clean ablations, though its scope is bounded by verifier coverage, and Evolve rates its reproducibility readiness medium. Qwen-Planner-Agent (2026) describes a closed-loop AI-for-AI framework that trains a 27B mobile planner topping MobilePA-Bench at 77.05%; because the benchmark is self-built and gains lack significance tests, its reproducibility readiness is rated low. Bibliometric coverage is thin: h-index and i10-index are reported as 0, output and impact dimensions lack sufficient data, and activity scores 32 while collaboration scores 71 on the strength of 35 distinct coauthors, including recurring collaborators Feida Zhu and Steven Hoi. OpenAlex topics also surface robotics-related labels, likely reflecting tagging noise on a sparse record.
Collaboration pattern
Collaboration scores 71, backed by 35 distinct coauthors in the record. Feida Zhu and Steven Hoi recur (each listed twice) alongside Ming Ma, Yi Zhu, Yiran Zhong, Chonghan Liu, Qichao Wang, Yanhao Jia, and Tianming Yang. Both catalog papers are multi-author arXiv preprints with Jiao in a middle author position, a pattern typical of large industrial research teams.

About this profile
This profile is AI-structured by Evolve.Pub from public bibliographic data (OpenAlex) and Evolve's own paper reviews. It is not written or endorsed by the researcher unless the profile is claimed. Radar dimensions are computed from real bibliometrics with fixed formulas — raw figures are shown alongside; missing dimensions mean insufficient data, never zero. Errors? Claim the profile to correct or hide it.
- Bibliometrics are computed from OpenAlex only; no ORCID link is available, so the profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data and may merge or split namesakes.
- Citation-based impact measures are unavailable: the snapshot reports h-index and i10-index as 0, reflecting missing coverage rather than measured impact.
- Only 2 arXiv preprints from 2026 are reviewed in the Evolve catalog; no peer-reviewed venue record, awards, or career history data is included.
- Dimension scores come from a sparse recent window (2 works in 2026), so they should be re-read as coverage grows.
