Hi there👋 My name is Shanyong Wang. I am a junior undergraduate at ShanghaiTech University and an exchange student at UIUC in 2024, majoring in computer science. I am very fortunate to join UIUC BLENDER Lab, advised by Prof. Heng Ji and mentor Xiusi Chen. I also work closing with Prof. Ze Xiong at WiSe lab back in ShanghaiTech University.
My Chinese name is 王善泳. My pronouns are He/Him/His.

DecisionFlow: Advancing Large Language Model as Principled Decision Maker
2025
We propose DecisionFlow, a novel decision modeling framework that guides models to reason over structured representations of actions, attributes, and constraints. Rather than predicting answers directly from prompts, DecisionFlow builds a semantically grounded decision space and infers a latent utility function to evaluate trade-offs in a transparent, utility-driven manner. This process produces decisions tightly coupled with interpretable rationales reflecting the model's reasoning.
