Research Interests
Mostly into 3D vision, especially deep learning on point clouds (PointCNN, PointCNN++), but also dabbling in making superficial cosmetics to general architectures (DO-Conv, MoVE), and even some jailbreak attempts. Somewhere in all of this, I dream of minds — silicon or otherwise — that wander through rooms they've never seen, reach for objects they've never held, and find their way home through streets that only exist in points and pixels.
My work is, in some unsuspecting corners of academia, to be compared against sometimes, to be discussed often, to be forgotten always — as the fully AI generated chart below rigorously proves. I don't know where the citations are from, maybe Google Scholar knows?
