Think deeply. Make with intent.

I’m Yuqi Wang (王宇奇)—a visual intelligence researcher, an R&B and hip-hop listener, and a reader of philosophy.

Researching visual intelligence

Listening closely · Reading widely

01 / Selected publications

Research that turns
intent into pixels.

My work centers on one question: how can generative models follow complex human intent while preserving everything that should remain untouched?

SELF-REWARD / 02
SREdit architecture: semantic instruction atomization, aligned self-reward, and spatial reward reweighting

02 / Experience

Research, built for
the real world.

From long-form video understanding to controllable generation, I enjoy carrying ideas all the way from a research question to a working system.

AIGC Algorithm Intern · Digital Human & Creative Generation

Developed multi-element image composition and an end-to-end long-video auto-editing pipeline. The production system processed 1,000+ videos daily, improved editing efficiency by 8×, and lifted completion rate by about 12%.

03 / About

Curious about how we see, think, and create.

I’m a master’s student in Software Engineering at Beihang University, advised by Prof. Jianwei Niu in the LDMC Lab. My research spans diffusion and flow-matching models, multimodal language models, and reinforcement learning for visual generation.

Before graduate school, I completed my bachelor’s degree at Beihang, where I was named an Outstanding Graduate and received national first prizes in mathematical modeling and compiler design.

Outside the lab, I spend time with R&B and hip-hop—drawn to rhythm, texture, and voice—and with philosophy, returning to questions of mind, freedom, meaning, and how to live.

01

Controllable Editing

Precise changes with strong identity and structure preservation.

02

Multimodal Reasoning

Connecting visual understanding with faithful generative decisions.

03

Learning & Alignment

Better training signals for models that understand nuanced intent.

04 / Interests

Life beyond
the lab.

Research is one way I make sense of the world. Music and philosophy are two others.

Listening / 01

R&B & Hip-Hop

Groove, texture, sampling, and the way a voice can carry a lived world.

Thinking / 02

Philosophy

Questions of mind, freedom, meaning, and the relationship between thought and action.

Credo / 03
应无所住,
而生其心

A line I return to: remain open, and let the mind arise without clinging.

05 / Personal blog

Notes beyond
the paper.

A future home for research notes, music, philosophy, and ideas worth keeping.

Personal notes · Coming soon

A place for the work behind the work.

I’ll use this space to document experiments, research process, records I’m listening to, books I’m reading, and the occasional thought outside the lab.
