Research Interests


My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and graphics. I am currently interested in still image reanimation and generative modeling.


Highlights



Research Projects


Fashion-VDM: Video Diffusion Model for Virtual Try-On (SIGGRAPH Asia 2024)

Given a garment image and person video, Fashion-VDM synthesizes a photorealistic try-on video. We introduce a state-of-the-art video virtual try-on model based on diffusion, split classifier-free guidance, joint image-video training for try-on, and a progressive temporal training scheme.

DreamPose: Fashion Image-to-Video Synthesis via Stable Diffusion (ICCV 2023)

Given a person image and pose sequence, DreamPose generates an animation of the input person following the pose sequence. DreamPose equips Stable Diffusion with pose-and-image guidance, using a novel encoder architecture and finetuning strategy.
