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!

#ICLR2025 My lab members, Zhizheng and Joe, will present our work on learning to generate diverse pedestrians by watching web videos this week in Singapore. Let's fill the ghost town house with people in simulations! Webpage: genforce.github.io/PedGen/ Code: github.com/genforce/PedGen

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
