Research Experience
My research projects in scene text understanding, visual tracking, and visual generation.
Scene Text Tracking
2025.08 - PresentInTime Lab, Nankai University
To address deformation, blur, and structural-detail loss, proposed SymTrack, the first detection-free scene text tracking framework, and built a dedicated benchmark from three video text spotting datasets. Independently completed the implementation, ablations, reproduction of 10+ recent trackers, evaluation, and paper writing. The work achieved state-of-the-art results on all three benchmarks and was accepted by ICML 2026 as a sole first-author paper. Paper · Code
Video Text Editing
2026.01 - PresentInTime Lab, Nankai University
To improve glyph rendering and reduce background distortion, developed the first training-free video text editing framework based on Wan 2.2, using frequency-guided glyph injection and mask-trajectory preservation. It outperformed VACE, FlowEdit, and FlowAlign in overall quality. Led the first VTE benchmark spanning real and synthetic data, reproduced leading methods, and independently completed the implementation, ablations, and manuscript. The work is under review at AAAI 2027.
Scene Text Image Super-Resolution
2025.12 - 2026.06InTime Lab, Nankai University
To mitigate visual hallucinations caused by overreliance on semantic priors, contributed to a hallucination-resistant dual-branch diffusion framework with a three-source evidence gating module for adaptive structural and semantic fusion. The method achieved state-of-the-art results on CTR and Real-CE under ×2 and ×4 settings. Worked on the implementation, ablation studies, and manuscript; the second-author paper was accepted by ACM Multimedia 2026.
Document Intelligence
2025.09 - 2026.02CCF Student Pilot Program, Prof. Ming-Ming Cheng's Group
Studied handwritten formula recognition and table parsing, reproduced recent state-of-the-art models, and independently ported TAMER (AAAI 2025) from PyTorch to Jittor with aligned accuracy. Completed the program and passed the final presentation.
Unified Visual Understanding and Generation
May 2026 - PresentProf. Wenguan Wang's Group, Zhejiang University
Investigating a unified-representation framework that addresses conflicts between discriminative visual understanding and generative modeling. The framework unifies diverse conditional inputs and outputs so that a single model can perform conditional generation alongside visual tasks such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and depth estimation.
