Xiaodan Du

I am a Ph.D. student at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago (TTIC), working on computer vision and machine learning. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Greg Shakhnarovich. My main research interests are generative models, 2D/3D generation and interpretation of deep generative models.

Before my study at TTIC, I have received an MS degree in Computer Science, advised by Professor Svetlana Lazebnik; and a BS degree in Civil Engineering, both from the amazing University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).

I am also an avid collector of 1800s to 1900s European historical and commemorative Medals. Here are a small group of my finest collections.

Generative Models: What do they know? Do they know things? Let's find out!

We introduce Intrinsic LoRA (I-LoRA), a universal, plug-and-play approach that transforms any generative model into a scene intrinsic predictor, capable of extracting intrinsic scene maps directly from the original generator network.
