Bio

I am an associate professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Oregon State University. My research direction is machine learning and computer vision, with a major interest in using and designing new machine learning algorithms to attack the structural data in images and videos, especially big data originating from videos.

Before joining OSU, I spent 4.5 years in Georgia Tech, first as a postdoc researcher supervised by Dr. Guy Lebanon, then as a research scientist working with Dr. James M. Rehg. I have worked on problems in natural language processing, recommender systems, as well as many computer vision problems such as image and video segmentation, object recognition, multi-target tracking, semantic reconstruction, etc.

Before Georgia Tech, I was working as a research scientist in the Sminchisescu group, INS, University of Bonn from 2008 to 2010. In Bonn I worked on machine learning and computer vision, looking to develop and use learning methods properly to solve conceptual and practical problems. Notably, I'm a member of the BONN-SVRSEGM team which participated in the PASCAL VOC Segmentation Challenge and (co-)won the 2009-2012 challenges.

Even before that, I got my bachelor degree on 2001 in Zhejiang University, and my Ph.D. degree on 2008 in the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a dissertation on Euclidean Metric Learning. My advisor is Jue Wang, a pioneer of artificial intelligence in China (not to be confused with Dr. Jue Wang from Megvii). Besides machine learning, I have also done some proteomics algorithms and software during my Ph.D., collaborating with Professor Youhe Gao from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in many machine learning algorithms and applications. Most recently, I have been mainly working on 4 topics:

1) Object Segmentation and Tracking. I have been working on video object segmentation since 2013, with publications in CVPR 2015 as well as placing 4th place in the DAVIS 2017 Video Object Segmentation Challenge. On the related problem of multi-target tracking, I have been working on the MHT-DAM algorithm and most recently we have proposed MHT-bLSTM which proposes a novel formulation of LSTM for solving the multi-target tracking problem.

2) Point Clouds. We recently proposed PointConv, an approach to construct exact convolutional neural networks on point clouds, as in 2D images.

3) Understanding Deep Neural Networks. We have proposed the XNN, which explains neural network decisions with several learned concepts that are visualized to human. Most recently, we proposed I-GOS, which visualizes the important parts a deep network is looking when it makes a classification. I-GOS is "causal" in that the CNN is often capable of classifying the object from only a very small highlighted region, and no longer classifying the object if the region is removed!

4) Uncertainty and Robust Deep Neural Networks. Recently we have proposed HyperGAN, which generates complete neural networks with a GAN that does not require additional training. One can easily sample 100 or 1000 diverse, well-trained networks from a trained hyperGAN and that improves our capability of estimating uncertainty and adversarial robustness. We also have prior work on adversarial defense by convolutional filter statistics and bilateral filtering.

Previously, I have been working for several years on the semantic image segmentation problem. Collaborating with Joao Carreira and Cristian Sminchisescu, our object segmentation/recognition system won the PASCAL VOC 2009-2012 Segmentation Challenge (with Adrian Ion as well in 2012). I mainly work in the recognition part of the system, on how to correctly classify and generate the final segmentation from a pool of initial figure-ground segmentations. The composite statistical modeling framework I proposed with colleagues is supposed to unseat pairwise CRF approaches for higher-order inference in fully-connected graphical models.

Publishing under the name of Li Fuxin starting from 2019

This is a Chinese name, where Fuxin (pronounced FOO-SHEEN) is the first name and Li (pronounced LEE) is the last name. Call me Fuxin when we meet.

AI/Robotics in OSU

I am a proud member of the new CoRIS institute in Oregon State University. We are a large and very strong research group in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing and robotics. As of 2018, OSU is ranked 43th overall in the USA by the most up-to-date Computer Science Rankings and 22nd in AI/ML/CV/NLP. At least one ranking puts our robotics program as high as #4 in the USA. If you are using USNews rankings to guide your grad school search, take a read at this article.

Selected Recent Research Highlights:  

Jun. 2023 AutoFocusFormer is published in CVPR 2023 and the code is available. AutoFocusFormer proposed adaptive downsampling in 2D images so that one can "focus" on small, faraway objects in the scene. It is the first end-to-end trained network that utilizes adaptive downsampling and local attention for dense prediction tasks such as semantic/instance segmentation.

Jun. 2023 PointConvFormer is published in CVPR 2023 and the code is available. PointConvFormer propose to add attention into the PointConv process. Besides, it significantly improves over the previous PointConv approach in terms of code quality and efficiency. It achieves the best accuracy-runtime tradeoff on the ScanNet dataset.

May. 2021 The code for iGOS++ is available. This siginficantly improves over our previous I-GOS approach, especially under high resolutions (28x28 or 224x224).

Oct. 2020 We proposed Deep Variational Instance Segmentation, a proposal-free instance segmentation approach that directly predict instance labels with a fully convolutional network. Code can be found here.

May. 2020 Code for PointPWCNet is available!

Nov. 2019 We proposed PointPWCNet, a coarse-to-fine approach to compute scene flow from point clouds with great results. Especially, using PointConv to compute cost volume convolution saves a significant amount of computations!

Oct. 2019 Code and Demo for I-GOS available.

Jun. 2019 Code for HyperGAN is available now!

Apr. 2019 We propose I-GOS, an approach to compute heatmaps for CNNs that generates localized heatmaps that actually correlate with the prediction at any resolution.

Apr. 2019 Code for PointConv is available on the Project Page.

Feb. 2019 Fuxin received an Amazon Research Award.

Jan. 2019 We proposed HyperGAN, a generative adversarial network that can directly generate diverse, fully-trained neural networks (all the weights) from a noise vector!

Nov. 2018 We proposed PointConv, which is a complete, scalable CNN (not depthwise or other approximations) on a point cloud. We have achieved the best result on the ScanNet benchmark for a network based only on a 3D point cloud, without volumetric networks. We have also been able to achieve identical performance to CNNs on CIFAR-10 when representing the image as a point cloud.

Sep. 2018 We proposed the bilinear LSTM, which reformed the LSTM formulation according to intuitions derived from a low-rank approximation of the classical recursive least squares. This has significantly improved the capability of training a multi-target tracking network using an LSTM.

Mar. 2018 Fuxin received an NSF CAREER award.

Jul. 2017 Our GaTech-Oregon State team has obtained the 4th place in the DAVIS Video Segmentation Challenge 2017.

Jul. 2017 Our team (MHT-DAM) has obtained the best overall ranking (Avg Rank) in the Multi-Target Tracking challenge (MOT) 2017 .

Sep. 2015 Two papers accepted in ICCV 2015. We beat the state-of-the-art in both object proposals generation and multi-target tracking.

Mar. 2015 An improvement of the video segmentation framework to handle complete occlusions is accepted to CVPR 2015. Congratulations Zhengyang for the impressive achievement to publish a first-authored paper in CVPR as a junior undergraduate student! Check out the Project Website

Jun. 2014 We proposed RIGOR, an algorithm that achieves accuracy slightly better to CPMC/Object proposals, but significantly faster, generating all object proposals in 2-4 seconds on CPU-only code. Check out the Project Page for more information and downloading the code.

Oct. 2013 We exploited semantic segmentation techniques to perform unsupervised video segmentation based on tracking image segments per-frame with 1) automatic object discovery based on segment pool; 2) efficiently learnt appearance models for hundreds of objects with strong appearance features; 3) CSI refinement of objects. Check out Project Webpage, SegTrack v2 Dataset , ICCV paper.

Jun. 2013 We proposed the Composite Statistical Inference (CSI) for inference on real-valued statistics obtained on multiple high-order overlapping variable subsets, with applications in semantic segmentation. Short version, Long version .

Apr. 2013 We proposed an analytic approximation to the chi-square kernel with geometric convergence and derived from elementary methods. It's more straightforward and converges faster over previous approaches. Preprint
