    No accepted papers, I am still happy to announce we open-source GenForce, an efficient PyTorch library for generative modeling. StyleGAN and PG-GAN are perfectly reproduced. We also collect a zoo of 60+ pretrained StyleGAN models, with Colab to play. github.com/genforce/genfo…

    Two NeurIPS'20 rejections are accepted to CVPR'21 as Orals, including the following work of unsupervised learning of steerable dimension in GANs (genforce.github.io/sefa/). Should thank all NeurIPS adversary reviewers for making this a better work. Be more resilient and optimistic

    I will move to UCLA Computer Science early next year to continue my academic journey. I am grateful for the enormous support from many smart and energetic people as collaborators, colleagues, and peers. Look forward to the exciting new chapter with @UCLAengineering @CS_UCLA

    received a student’s CV where only rejections are listed in the Publication. Well, I actually like it! Going through the submission cycle and feeling the academic setback twice already makes the undergrad stand out than most of the peers

    Our recent @CVPR 25 paper develops a Vid2Sim method that turns a video captured by mobile phone into an interactive environment represented by Gaussian Splatting to train RL agent for urban navigation. Incredible @ZiyangXie_ leaded the project. Webpage: metadriverse.github.io/vid2sim/

    Our NeurIPS '25 Spotlight paper presents an *online* preference learning or RLHF method that enables agents to learn from human feedback in real-time — a step toward safer and more aligned AI for robots. Led by Haoyuan Cai and Zhenghao Peng Webpage: metadriverse.github.io/ppl/

    Our recent #ICLR2022 work develops an efficient Human-in-the-loop learning method called HACO (Human-AI CoPilot), to mentor agents interactively to act and drive while preserving their own curiosity and exploration. Paper and code are available at decisionforce.github.io/HACO/

    As many conferences are coming in the summer, here I share some of the academic posters my collaborators and I have designed as a reference, with both PDF and PPT templates available. Hope to see your awesome posters soon!

    Our project on Reinforcement Learning for versatile exoskeleton controllers is published in Nature. I hope there is more AI assistive technology to augment humans in the physical world. The project is led by NCSU Hao Su's group and the paper is rdcu.be/dKCZV
