Zizhang Li

I am a CS Ph.D. student at Stanford starting 2024 Fall. I am supported by the Stanford Graduate Fellowship.

I got my M.Eng in Control Science and Engineering department from Zhejiang University in 2024, where I was advised by Prof. Yong Liu in April Lab. I obtained my B.Eng from the same department with an honor degree at Chu Kochen Honor College in 2021.

In past years, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Shangzhe Wu and Prof. Jiajun Wu at Stanford University, Prof. Yiyi Liao at Zhejiang University, Prof. Jifeng Dai at Tsinghua University, Weichao Qiu and Prof. Alan Yuille at CCVL.

3D-Fauna Learning the 3D Fauna of the Web
Zizhang Li*, Dor Litvak*, Ruining Li, Yunzhi Zhang, Tomas Jakab, Christian Rupprecht, Shangzhe Wu†, Andrea Vedaldi†, Jiajun Wu†
CVPR, 2024
Project page / arXiv / Code / Video / Demo

3D-Fauna learns a pan-category deformable 3D model of more than 100 different animal species using only 2D Internet images as training data, without any prior shape models or keypoint annotations. At test time, the model can turn a single image of an quadruped instance into an articulated, textured 3D mesh in a feed-forward manner, ready for animation and rendering.

zeronvs ZeroNVS: Zero-Shot 360-Degree View Synthesis from a Single Real Image
Kyle Sargent, Zizhang Li, Tanmay Shah, Charles Herrmann, Hong-Xing Yu, Yunzhi Zhang, Eric Ryan Chan, Dmitry Lagun, Li Fei-Fei, Deqing Sun, Jiajun Wu
CVPR, 2024
Project page / arXiv / code

We train a 3D-aware diffusion model, ZeroNVS on a mixture of scene data sources that capture object-centric, indoor, and outdoor scenes. This enables zero-shot SDS distillation of 360-degree NeRF scenes from a single image. Our model sets a new state-of-the-art result in LPIPS on the DTU dataset in the zero-shot setting. We also use the MipNeRF-360 dataset as a benchmark for single-image NVS.

RICO: Regularizing the Unobservable for Indoor Compositional Reconstruction
Zizhang Li, Xiaoyang Lyu, Yuanyuan Ding, Mengmeng Wang, Yiyi Liao†, Yong Liu†
ICCV, 2023
arXiv / code

We investigate the existing problems in SDF-based object compositional reconstruction under the partial observation, and propose different regularizations following the geometry prior to reach a clean and water-tight disentanglement.

occ-sdf Learning a Room with the Occ-SDF Hybrid: Signed Distance Function Mingled with Occupancy Aids Scene Representation
Xiaoyang Lyu, Peng Dai, Zizhang Li, Dongyu Yan, Yi Lin, Yifan Peng, Xiaojuan Qi
ICCV, 2023
Project page / arXiv / code

We study and analyze several key observations in indoor scene SDF-based volume rendering reconstruction methods. Upon those observations, we push forward an Occ-SDF hybrid representation for better reconstruction performance.

vilg A Joint Modeling of Vision-Language-Action for Target-oriented Grasping in Clutter
Kechun Xu, Shuqi Zhao, Zhongxiang Zhou, Zizhang Li, Huaijin Pi, Yifeng Zhu, Yue Wang, Rong Xiong
ICRA, 2023
arXiv / code

We propose to jointly model vision, language and action with object-centric representations for the task of language-conditioned grasping in clutter.

fmp Failure-aware Policy Learning for Self-assessable Robotics Tasks
Kechun Xu, Runjian Chen, Shuqi Zhao, Zizhang Li, Hongxiang Yu, Ci Chen, Yue Wang, Rong Xiong
ICRA, 2023
arXiv

We investigate the dependency between the self-assessment results and remaining actions by learning the failure-aware policy, and propose two policy architectures.

enerv E-NeRV: Expedite Neural Video Representation with Disentangled Spatial-Temporal Context
Zizhang Li, Mengmeng Wang, Huaijin Pi, Kechun Xu, Jianbiao Mei, Yong Liu
ECCV, 2022
arXiv / code

We investigate the architecture of frame-wise implicit neural video representation and upgrade it by removing a large portion of redundant parameters, and re-design the network architecture following a spatial-temporal disentanglement motivation.

cgpart Learning Part Segmentation through Unsupervised Domain Adaptation from Synthetic Vehicles
Qing Liu, Adam Kortylewski, Zhishuai Zhang, Zizhang Li, Mengqi Guo, Qihao Liu, Xiaoding Yuan, Jiteng Mu, Weichao Qiu, Alan Yuille
CVPR, 2022, oral
arXiv / code

We construct a synthetic multi-part dataset with different categories of objects, evaluate different part segmentation UDA methods with this benchmark, and also provide an improved baseline.

mail MaIL: A Unified Mask-Image-Language Trimodal Network for Referring Image Segmentation
Zizhang Li*, Mengmeng Wang*, Jianbiao Mei, Yong Liu
arxiv, 2021
arXiv

We propose to regard the binary mask as a unique modality and train the tri-modal embedding space on top of ViLT for referring segmentation task.

trionet Searching for TrioNet: Combining Convolution with Local and Global Self-Attention
Huaijin Pi, Huiyu Wang, Yingwei Li, Zizhang Li, Alan Yuille
BMVC, 2021
arXiv / code

We propose a weight-sharing NAS method to combine convolution, local and global self-attention operators.

paploss Searching Parameterized AP Loss for Object Detection
Chenxin Tao*, Zizhang Li*, Xizhou Zhu, Gao Huang, Yong Liu, Jifeng Dai
NeurIPS, 2021
arXiv / code

We transform the non-diffrentiable AP metric to differentiable loss function by utilizing Bezier curve parameterization. We further use PPO to search the parameters and show improved performance of the PAP loss on various detectors.
