Publications
Selected first-author or representative works are highlighted below. Equal contribution is marked by *.
Next-Frame Decoding for Ultra-Low-Bitrate Image Compression with Video Diffusion Priors
Reformulates generative image decoding as next-frame prediction from a compact anchor frame, using video diffusion priors for ultra-low-bitrate image compression.
Adaptive Learned Image Compression with Graph Neural Networks
Introduces GLIC, a graph-based learned image compression framework with dual-scale graphs and adaptive connectivity for content-adaptive redundancy modeling.
Content-Aware Mamba for Learned Image Compression
Builds a content-aware state-space model for image compression by combining content-adaptive token permutation with sample-specific global prior injection.
H3D-DGS: Exploring Heterogeneous 3D Motion Representation for Deformable 3D Gaussian Splatting
Proposes a heterogeneous 3D motion representation for deformable 3D Gaussian splatting that decomposes complex scene dynamics into distinct motion components.
Knowledge Distillation for Learned Image Compression
Develops a stage-wise modular distillation framework for learned image compression, reducing model complexity while preserving rate-distortion performance.
Lens: Rethinking Training Efficiency for Foundational Text-to-Image Models
Presents Lens, a 3.8B-parameter text-to-image model that matches or surpasses 6B+ models across benchmarks while using only ~19% of their training compute, through maximizing data information density and improving convergence with semantic VAE and strong language encoders.
