Sheng Xu

I am a PhD candidate (2018.09-) at the School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, supervised by Prof. Jinhu Lu and Prof. Baochang Zhang. I obtained my BSc degree in School of Transportation Science and Engineering from Beihang University (2014.09-2018.06). I was interned at Shanghai AI Lab (2021.12-2023.02), and VIS department of Baidu Inc. (2020.05-2020.12).

Research

My area of interest lies in the techniques of network binarization and quantization, along with knowledge distillation. My research objective is to facilitate the deployment of advanced neural network models on hardware with limited resources. This involves compressing various neural architectures and ensuring their adaptable deployment on diverse hardware platforms. My research focus is mainly on:

  • Network binarization and quantization
  • Knowledge distillation
  • Image synthesizing
  • Object detection
  • Selected Publications
