Wenye (Bear) Xiong 熊闻野
I am currently a third-year visiting undergraduate student at Harvard University. Before, I was an undergraduate student at ShanghaiTech University, majoring in Computer Science and Technology. I am a member of the PLUS Lab at the School of Information Science and Technology (SIST), advised by Prof. Xuming He. My research interests include Multimodal Machine Learning, Computer Vision, AI for Healthcare & Life Science, and Generative AI. My recent research focuses on Compositional Scene Generation. By learning the disentangled representation from the scene graph, we try to enable flexible control over the diffusion based generation process.
