Qizhe Li — Academic Homepage

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer and Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, advised by Prof. Guangxu Zhu, and a visiting student at the Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data.

My research focuses on intelligent networks and AI-RAN, exploring how machine learning,large language models and agents can advance wireless network intelligence. My earlier work studied uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, and surrogate-based optimization.

Outside research, I enjoy playing tennis and photography. I am happy to connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate on intelligent networks and AI-driven systems. Get in touch!

QoEReasoner: An Agentic Reasoning Framework for Automated and Explainable QoE Diagnosis in RANs

Q. Li, H. Chen, S. Dai, Z. Li, Z. Hu, X. Li, G. Zhu, Q. Shi

Submitted to IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC); arXiv preprint

QoEReasoner is an end-to-end agentic system for explainable RAN diagnosis. Deterministic tools convert KPIs into evidence, a domain knowledge base constrains causal propagation, and a stateful planner coordinates anomaly detection and root localization.

DK-Root: A Joint Data-and-Knowledge-Driven Framework for Root Cause Analysis of QoE Degradations in Mobile Networks

Q. Li, H. Chen, J. Li, S. Chai, X. Li, Y. Hou, X. Shao, F. Li, K. Han, G. Zhu

IEEE Transactions on Networking

DK-Root combines weak operational rules with scarce expert labels for mobile-network QoE diagnosis. Contrastive pretraining mitigates rule noise, conditional diffusion supplies task-faithful augmentation, and expert-guided fine-tuning sharpens the final classifier.

SemiRoot: A Semi-Supervised Deep Learning Framework for Root-Cause Analysis of QoE Degradations in Mobile Networks

Q. Li, H. Chen, S. Fu, Z. Zou, G. Zhu

IEEE ICC Workshops

SemiRoot addresses label scarcity through a two-stage semi-supervised framework. Rule-guided contrastive learning structures the representation space before a small set of expert labels calibrates the decision boundaries.

An enhanced framework for Morris by combining with a sequential sampling strategy

Q. Li, H. Huang, S. Xie, L. Chen, Z. Liu

International Journal for Uncertainty Quantification

A sequential Morris framework reduces the cost of sample-based sensitivity analysis. Progressive Latin hypercube sampling preserves space-filling properties while an adaptive stopping rule avoids unnecessary model evaluations.

A data-driven PC-Kriging method considering correlated variables

Y. Li, Q. Li, H. Huang

International Conference on Algorithms, Computing and Artificial Intelligence

This paper develops a data-driven polynomial-chaos Kriging method for systems with correlated inputs. Adaptive Lasso selects a compact polynomial basis before it is embedded in a Kriging model.
