Wenhao Wang

I am a Ph.D. student in ReLER, AAII, University of Technology Sydney, supervised by Yi Yang. My research interest is visual copy detection, deep metric learning and computer vision. Before ReLER, I was a Research Assistant in Baidu Research co-supervised by Yifan Sun and Yi Yang. Prior to Baidu, I was a Remote Research Intern in Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI) from 2020 to 2021, where I was supervised by Fang Zhao and Shengcai Liao. I gained my bachelor degree from Beihang University in 2021 with Shenyuan Medal (Top 10 Undergraduate).

Selected Research Papers

	VidProM: A Million-scale Real Prompt-Gallery Dataset for Text-to-Video Diffusion Models Wenhao Wang, Yi Yang Arxiv, 2024 arXiv / Project / Hugging Face / Wisemodel / bibtex / Zhihu ✨ Top10/119,507 in the Hugging Face Dataset Trending List on Mar. 15th 2024. VidProM is the first dataset featuring 1.67 million unique text-to-video prompts and 6.69 million videos generated from 4 different state-of-the-art diffusion models. It inspires many exciting new research areas, such as Text-to-Video Prompt Engineering, Efficient Video Generation, Fake Video Detection, and Video Copy Detection for Diffusion Models.
	TransHP: Image Classification with Hierarchical Prompting Wenhao Wang, Yifan Sun, Wei Li, Yi Yang NeurIPS, 2023 arXiv / Code / bibtex / poster This paper explores a hierarchical prompting mechanism for the hierarchical image classification (HIC) task. Different from prior HIC methods, our hierarchical prompting is the first to explicitly inject ancestor-class information as a tokenized hint that benefits the descendant-class discrimination.
	A Benchmark and Asymmetrical-Similarity Learning for Practical Image Copy Detection Wenhao Wang, Yifan Sun, Yi Yang AAAI, 2023 (Oral) arXiv / Dataset&Code / bibtex / poster We contribute a new ICD dataset, i.e., Negative-Distractor for Edited Copy (NDEC), with emphasis on the seldom-noticed hard negative problem. We propose a novel Asymmetric-Similarity Learning (ASL) method for ICD.
	Attentive WaveBlock: Complementarity-enhanced Mutual Networks for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Person Re-identification and Beyond Wenhao Wang, Fang Zhao, Shengcai Liao, Ling Shao TIP, 2022 arXiv / Code / bibtex This paper proposes a novel light-weight module, the Attentive WaveBlock (AWB), which can be integrated into the dual networks of mutual learning to enhance the complementarity.
	Learning Anchored Unsigned Distance Functions with Gradient Direction Alignment for Single-view Garment Reconstruction Fang Zhao, Wenhao Wang, Shengcai Liao, Ling Shao ICCV, 2021 (Oral) arXiv / Code / bibtex We propose a novel learnable Anchored Unsigned Distance Function (AnchorUDF) representation for 3D garment reconstruction from a single image.
	DomainMix: Learning Generalizable Person Re-Identification Without Human Annotations Wenhao Wang, Shengcai Liao, Fang Zhao, Cuicui Kang, Ling Shao BMVC, 2021 arXiv / Code / bibtex We propose a new person re-identification task, i.e. how to use labeled synthetic dataset and unlabeled real-world dataset to train a universal model. A DomainMix framework is introduced to give a basic solution to the task.
