Biography

I am currently a Lecturer in the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS) at Queen’s University Belfast. Prior to this, I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, collaborating with Prof. Ioannis Brilakis. In Jan. 2022, I got my doctor’s degree in the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, Intelligent Vision Group(IVG). I was supervised by Prof. Jiwen Lu , Prof. Jie Zhou and Prof. Xiu Li . I am broadly interested in computer vision and AI for science. My current research focuses on representation learning, video understanding, construction digital twin.

Publications

dise Adversarial Alignment for Source Free Object Detection
Qiaosong Chu, Shuyan Li, Guangyi Chen, Kai Li and Xiu Li
Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), 2023
[PDF] [Video] [Code]

We propose an adversarial learning based source free object detection method.

dise Structure-adaptive Neighborhood Preserving Hashing for Scalable Video Search
Shuyan Li, Xiu Li, Jiwen Lu and Jie Zhou
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (TCSVT), 2021
[PDF]

This is the journal version of NPH. Compared with NPH, we further develop an encoding network that can capture the hierachical structure of a video.

dise Self-supervised Video Hashing via Bidirectional Transformers
Shuyan Li, Xiu Li, Jiwen Lu and Jie Zhou
IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2021
[PDF] [Code]

We propose a self-supervised learning framework to capture bidirectional correlations among videos based on transformers.

dise Neighborhood Preserving Hashing for Scalable Video Retrieval
Shuyan Li, Zhixiang Chen, Jiwen Lu, Xiu Li, and Jie Zhou
IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2019
[PDF]

We learn video hash functions via exploiting the neighborhood structure among videos.

dise Unsupervised Variational Video Hashing with 1D-CNN-LSTM Networks
Shuyan Li, Zhixiang Chen, Xiu Li, Jiwen Lu, and Jie Zhou
IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM), 2020
[PDF]

We propose a variational mechanism to learn robust video hash representation.
