Publications (* equal contribution)

PDT

PDT is a novel diffusion-based framework for transforming dense point distribution into a target distribution that is semantically meaningful.

SO-SMPL

In this paper, we introduced a novel text-to-avatar generation method that separately generates the human body and the clothes and allows high-quality animation on the generated avatar.

Jionghao Wang*, Ziyu Chen*, Jun Ling, Rong Xie, Li Song

We proposed a novel diffusion-based pipeline that generates complete 360 panoramas using one or more unregistered NFoV images captured from arbitrary angles.

Learning What Matters: Adaptive Information Theoretic Objectives for Robot Exploration

Developed QOED to enhance robot exploration by isolating identifiable model parameters and suppressing unidentifiable 'nuisance' directions in high-dimensional systems.

SPGen

SPGen leverages Spherical Projection (SP) to generate high-quality 3D shapes with diffusion models.
