About Me

I am currently a Ph.D student at University of Maryland, College Park working with Prof. Jia-Bin Huang. I obtained my M.S. degree from UC San Diego, advised by Prof. Nuno Vasconcelos, and my B.E. degree from South China University of Technology (SCUT), advised by Prof. Junbo Zhang, respectively.

My current research interests include generative models and their applications. I used to work on the scene understanding for Self-Driving. My CV is available here.

Publications

  • In-N-Out: Face Video Inversion and Editing with Volumetric Decomposition
  • Yiran Xu, Zhixin Shu, Cameron Smith, Seoung Wug Oh, Jia-Bin Huang

    CVPR 2024 [paper / project page]

    We propose a GAN inversion approach by decomposing data with Out-of-distribution objects into two radiance fields.

  • Dynamic Mesh-Aware Radiance Fields
  • Yi-Ling Qiao, Alexander Gao, Yiran Xu, Yue Feng, Jia-Bin Huang, Ming C. Lin

    ICCV 2023 [paper / project page / code]

    We investigate a method that enables physical simulations within a radiance field.

  • Text-driven Visual Synthesis with Latent Diffusion Prior
  • Ting-Hsuan Liao, Songwei Ge, Yiran Xu, Yao-Chih Lee, Badour AlBahar, Jia-Bin Huang

    Preprint [paper / project page]

    We proprose a framework to leverage the prior from Stable Diffusion for multiple visual tasks.

  • Temporally Consistent Semantic Video Editing
  • Yiran Xu, Badour AlBahar, Jia-Bin Huang

    ECCV 2022 [paper / project page / code]

    We propose a flow-based method to improve the temporal consistency in GAN-based video editing.
