Minghao Chen

Hi, I am currently a second-year DPhil student at Visual Geometry Group, Oxford, advised by Prof. Andrea Vedaldi and Dr. Iro Laina.

Before that, I was a Ph.D. student at Stony Brook University, supervised by Prof. Haibin Ling from 2020 to 2022. I interned at MSR Asia working with Dr. Houwen Peng form 2020 to 2021. I received my M.S. from Columbia University in 2020 and B.S. from Beihang University in 2018.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, neural architecture search, generative model and 3D vision. My previous research is mainly about designing efficient and effective neural network automatically, while I am now focusing on generative models. Representative papers are highlighted.

	SHAP-EDITOR: Instruction-guided Latent 3D Editing in Seconds Minghao Chen, Junyu Xie , Iro Laina , Andrea Vedaldi , Arxiv , 2023 arXiv / bibtex / project page / code / demo We present a method, named SHAP-EDITOR, aiming at fast 3D editing. We propose to learn a universal editing function that can be applied to different objects within one second.
	Training-Free Layout Control with Cross-Attention Guidance Minghao Chen, Iro Laina , Andrea Vedaldi , WACV, 2024 arXiv / bibtex / project page / code / demo We present a method for controlling the layout of images generated by large pre-trained text-to-image models by guiding the cross-attention patterns.
	Expanding Language-Image Pretrained Models for General Video Recognition Bolin Ni, Houwen Peng , Minghao Chen, Songyang Zhang, Gaofeng Meng, Jianlong Fu, Shiming Xiang, Haibin Ling, ECCV, 2022 (Oral Presentation) arXiv / bibtex / code A new framework adapting language-image foundation models to general video recognition.
	Searching the Search Space of Vision Transformer Minghao Chen, Kan Wu, Bolin Ni, Houwen Peng, Bei Liu, Jianlong Fu, Hongyang Chao, Haibin Ling, NeurIPS, 2021 arXiv / bibtex / code We propose to search the optimal search space of vision transformer models with AutoFormer training strategy.
	Rethinking and Improving Relative Position Encoding for Vision Transformer Kan Wu, Houwen Peng, Minghao Chen, Jianlong Fu, Hongyang Chao, ICCV, 2021 arXiv / bibtex / code A new relative position encoding methods dedicated to 2D images, considering directional relative distance modeling.
	AutoFormer: Searching Transformers for Visual Recognition Minghao Chen, Houwen Peng , Jianlong Fu, Haibin Ling, ICCV, 2021 arXiv / bibtex / code / A Once-for-all one-shot architecture search framework dedicated to vision transformer search.
	One-Shot Neural Ensemble Architecture Search by Diversity-Guided Search Space Shrinking Minghao Chen, Houwen Peng, Jianlong Fu, Haibin Ling, CVPR, 2021 arXiv / bibtex / code We present a novel one-shot neural architecture method searching for optimal architectures for model ensemble.
