Aboue me
I am a first-year PhD student at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Daniel Aliaga. My research interests are computer graphics, 3D computer vision, and deep learning.
Previously, I earned my Master’s degree from Brown University, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Daniel Ritchie and Prof. Srinath Sridhar on procedural modeling and 3D generative models. I received my bachelor’s degree from Tufts University, with three majors in computer science, applied mathematics, and economics. During my undergraduate years, I have been fortunate to work with Prof. Michael Hughes on generalized category discovery and Prof. Liping Liu on graph neural networks.

Specializing Small Language Models towards Complex Style Transfer via Latent Attribute Pre-Training
Ruiqi Xu*, Yongfeng Huang*, Xin Chen, Lin Zhang. In Proceedings of ECAI 2023 [paper] [code]I worked on this project during my internship at Platinum AI, while I was taking a year off from undergraduate. TLDR: We propose a method to specialize small language models towards text style transfer tasks by training a latent attribute predictor (based on small T5 models) via contrastive learning.
Implementations
Every now and then, we come across papers without code. Here is a record of codeless papers I implemented for personal interest / research needs. Hopefully you can notice how my coding skills grow over time from these repos:)
