Boyang Zheng

I'm currently an incoming PhD student at NYU Courant, advised by Saining Xie. I obtained my bachelor degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, ACM Honor Class.

My current research interests include representation learning, generative modeling, and multi-modal learning. I have little interest in chasing the state-of-the-art unless I have to. Instead, I prefer to explore interesting ideas that help better understanding of this field or could possibly lead to new applications.

A class of autoencoders that utilize pretrained, frozen representation encoders as encoders and train ViT decoders on top. Training Diffusion Transformers in the latent space of RAE achieves strong performance and fast convergence on image generation tasks.

A careful designed framework to let a frozen LLM to perform low-level vision tasks without any multi-modal data or prior. We also find that most current MLLMs(2024.5) with generation ability are BLIND to low-level features.

A method to craft adversarial examples for Latent Diffusion Model against various personlization techniques(e.g. SDEdit, LoRA), strongly outperforming existing methods. We aim for protecting the privacy of artists and their copyrighted works in the era of AIGC.
