Yuxiang Fu Profile Icon

I am a MASc student in the ECE department at UBC, and a member in DSL lab, advised by Prof. Lele Wang and Prof. Renjie Liao.

Previously, I received an Honours degree in CS from UBC under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Roth. During my undergraduate studies, I am fortunate to intern at both the BCCRC Roth Lab and Vector Institute.

Research

I am interested in deep learning, generative AI, and self-driving, with a focus on the geometry and structure of diverse data modalities. My research seeks to elucidate underlying data patterns while leveraging their representations to enable robust, reliable, and efficient inference, bridging theoretical insights with practical applications. Some papers are highlighted.

MoFlow: One-Step Flow Matching for Human Trajectory Forecasting via Implicit Maximizing Likelihood Estimation based Distillation
Yuxiang Fu, Qi Yan, Ke Li, Lele Wang, Renjie Liao
CVPR 2025
Project Page / arXiv / Paper / Video / Code / Bibtex

We present a novel Motion prediction conditional Flow matching model, termed MoFlow, to generate K-shot future trajectories for all agents in a given scene. In addition, by leveraging the Implicit Maximum Likelihood Estimation (IMLE), we propose a novel distillation method for flow models that only requires samples from the teacher model.

CRV 2024 Workshop, Oral Presentation
Slides / Poster

We introduce TGD, a diffusion-based human trajectory generation model, along with a trainable student model leveraging the IMLE scheme to align with the teacher diffusion model’s distribution at any intermediate diffusion timestamp.

ESQmodel: biologically informed evaluation of 2-D cell segmentation quality in multiplexed tissue images

Bioinformatics 2024
Journal Article / bioRxiv

Accurate single-cell segmentation is essential for spatial omics analysis, yet existing methods rely heavily on expert-driven annotations and separate statistical or biological evaluation strategies, highlighting the need for a unified assessment approach. ESQmodel alleviates this limitation.

Rotational Impedance Formulation in a Unified Viewpoint of Lie Algebra
Jian Fu, Siyuan Shen, Yuxiang Fu, Kui Xiang
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters 2025

We aim to elucidate the fundamental nature of rotational impedance and presents a comprehensive, unified framework for formulating rotational impedance using Lie algebra and Noether's theorem. In particular, we utilized quaternions and rotation matrices to represent rotational motion within our proposed framework to ensure theoretical validity.


Thesis
PCVAE: a Controlled deep VAE for Pancancer gene expressions clustering analysis
Yuxiang Fu
Content

A slight tweak of the variational autoencoder that controls the primary tissue effect of the bulk RNA sequencing data from PCAWG/ICGC dataset. PCVAE offers the ability to uncover novel connections across heterogeneous cancers in a site-effect-free environment.
