About Me

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland - College Park with Dean Fellowship Award.

Currently, I am a Research Assistant supervised by Prof.Chao DONG from XPixel. I also work closely with Ph.D. cancidate Jinjin GU.

My previous research interests mainly lie in Computer Vision and its related explainations caused by Deep Learning, especially in:

  • Low-level Vision : How to Design and Guide more efficient Image Restoration models to tackle multiple and tangled distortions in real-world scenario.

  • Explainable Artificial Intelligence : How to observe/depict/measure the procedure that machine extracts and leverages information embeded in the image and video.

All publications (2014-2022) of XPixel and their inner connection/value/development are presented here. Meanwhile, our group culture/belief is showed here. It is proud to observe our achivements (both research and culture) from this view. You can also find my research CUGAN and PIPAL on it. For detailed explaination, you can find HERE (Only Chinese Version now). Thanks for brilliant creation from Jin LI.
