Feng Wang

I am a first-year PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Alan L. Yuille.

Before that I was a M.S. student at Tsinghua University, where I worked under the guidance of Prof. Hairong Lv. I also spent wonderful time interning at Microsoft Research and UIUC.

My current research interest lies at the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing, in particualr vision-language understanding and multi-modality content generation.

Publications

	CP2: Copy-Paste Contrastive Pretraining for Semantic Segmentation Feng Wang, Huiyu Wang, Chen Wei, Alan Yuille, Wei Shen ECCV , 2022 \| arXiv / code We propose a dense (pixel-wise) self-supervised contrastive learning method called CP2, which facilitates both image- and pixel-level representations. We obtain 78.6% mIoU with a ResNet-50 and 79.5% with a ViT-S by finetuning CP2 pretrained models on PASCAL VOC.
	Learning to Decompose Visual Features with Latent Textual Prompts Feng Wang, Manling Li, Xudong Lin, Hairong Lv, Alexander G. Schwing, Heng Ji ICLR , 2023. \| arXiv We propose a novel vision-language model called Decomposed Feature Prompting (short as DeFo), which decouples the language inputs from the classes to be inferred, and learns to extract detailed visual features with textual prompts.
	SCLIP: Rethinking Self-Attention for Dense Vision-Language Inference Feng Wang, Jieru Mei, Alan Yuille Preprint, under review . \| arXiv \| code We present a zero-shot semantic segmentation model called SCLIP (Segmentation-adapted CLIP model), which leverages our newly proposed correlative self-attention mechanism and allows training-free adaptation to semantic segmentation tasks with CLIP.
	Dual Prompt Tuning for Domain-Aware Federated Learning Guoyizhe Wei, Feng Wang, Anshul Shah, Rama Chellappa Preprint, under review . \| arXiv We address the challenges of domain shift in vision-language inference by leveraging the technique of prompt learning for both the image and text encoders in CLIP, which facilitates domain adaptation over decentralized and non-iid data.
	Boost Neural Networks by Checkpoints Feng Wang, Guoyizhe Wei, Qiao Liu, Jinxiang Ou, Xian Wei, Hairong Lv NeurIPS , 2021 \| arXiv We propose a novel checkpoint ensemble called Checkpoint Boosted Neural Networks (CBNN), where a boosting scheme is utilized to accelerate model convergence and maximize the checkpoint diversity. Our superior performance is supported by a theoretical proof.
	Gradient Boosting Forest: a Two-Stage Ensemble Method Enabling Federated Learning of GBDTs Feng Wang, Jinxiang Ou, Hairong Lv ICONIP , 2021 \| paper We propose a novel GBDT model which extends each single decision tree of GBDT to an ensemble of trees that are trained from different data splits. Our method allows decentralized training and achieves more robust performance.
