About Me

I am a second year Ph.D. student in i-VisionGroup of the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Jie Zhou and Prof. Jiwen Lu. Prior to joining Tsinghua, I got my B.Eng. from Southeast University.

My research focuses on computer vision and 3D.

Selected Publications

SegGroup: Seg-Level Supervision for 3D Instance and Semantic Segmentation An Tao, Yueqi Duan, Yi Wei, Jiwen Lu, and Jie Zhou arXiv, 2020 [arXiv] [Code] In this paper, we discover that the locations of instances matter for 3D scene segmentation. By fully taking the advantages of locations, we design a weakly supervised point cloud segmentation algorithm that only requires clicking on one point per instance to indicate its location for annotation. With over-segmentation for pre-processing, we extend these location annotations into segments as seg-level labels.

Label Enhancement for Label Distribution Learning Ning Xu, An Tao, and Xin Geng International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), 2018 [PDF] [Slides] We propose a novel label enhancement algorithm called Graph Laplacian Label Enhancement (GLLE) to recover label distributions for Label Distribution Learning (LDL).

Label Embedding Based on Multi-Scale Locality Preservation Chenglun Peng, An Tao, and Xin Geng International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), 2018 [PDF] [Slides] We propose a specially designed approach MSLP that achieves label embedding for Label Distribution Learning (LDL).

Miscellaneous Facts

I admire a famous quote from Zhang Zai: To set conscience for our world, to secure life and fortune for all people, to continue teachings of past sages, and to establish peace for all future generations.

For my hobbies, I play volleyball very well and have won several top prizes in Beijing and Southeast University. I started playing volleyball on the school team when I was 7. I love to study photography in my spare time, especially landscape photography. I can play the piano and have reached eighth amateur level. I enjoy exploring history, architecture, and Chinese philosophy. They all supply me spiritual nourishment.

Now I mainly focus on my research and work hard to publish more papers.
