About Me

Hi there! This is Yueyu. I am a 4th-year PhD student (expected to graduate in May 2025) working with Prof. Yao Wang at NYU Video Lab. I received a master's degree in computer science at Peking University, advised by Prof. Jiaying Liu at STRUCT. My research interests include computer vision, machine learning and image/video compression. I am also interested in photography, trains and railways, meteorology, science-fiction and computer network development.

I am open to job opportunities starting in Summer 2025.

WHIM is where I share my debugging experiences, observations, or otherwise. Check it out!

Towards Coding for Human and Machine Vision: A Scalable Image Coding Approach

In this paper, we come up with a novel image coding framework by leveraging both the compressive and the generative models, to support machine vision and human perception tasks jointly. By introducing advanced generative models, we train a flexible network to reconstruct images from compact feature representations and the reference pixels. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our framework in both human visual quality and facial landmark detection, which provide useful evidence on the emerging standardization efforts on MPEG VCM (Video Coding for Machine).
