Danfei Xu

I am currently a CS Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University. I am advised by Silvio Savarese and Fei-Fei Li who co-lead the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab. My recent research interests are 3D computer vision and robot learning.

Prior to joining Stanford, I received my B.S. from Columbia University. My past industry and research experience includes ZOOX, Autodesk Research, CMU RI, and Columbia Robotics Lab.

	Neural Task Graphs: Generalizing to Unseen Tasks from a Single Video Demonstration De-An Huang, Suraj Nair, Danfei Xu, Yuke Zhu, Animesh Garg, Li Fei-Fei, Silvio Savarese, Juan Carlos Niebles arXiv Preprint*, 2018 Generate executable task graphs from video demonstrations.
	Neural Task Programming: Learning to Generalize Across Hierarchical Tasks Danfei Xu, Suraj Nair, Yuke Zhu, Julian Gao, Animesh Garg, Li Fei-Fei, Silvio Savarese ICRA, 2018 [website] [video] [Two Minute Papers] Neural Task Programming (NTP) is a meta-learning framework that learns to generate robot-executable neural programs from task demonstration video.
	PointFusion: Deep Sensor Fusion for 3D Bounding Box Estimation Danfei Xu, Ashesh Jain, Dragomir Anguelov CVPR, 2018 End-to-end 3D Bounding Box Estimation via sensor fusion.
	Scene Graph Generation by Iterative Message Passing Danfei Xu, Yuke Zhu, Christopher B. Choy, Li Fei-Fei CVPR, 2017 [website] [code] We propose an end-to-end model that jointly infers object category, location, and relationships. The model learns to iteratively improve its prediction by passing messages on a scene graph.
	3D-R2N2: A Unified Approach for Single and Multi-view 3D Object Reconstruction Christopher B. Choy, Danfei Xu, JunYoung Gwak, Silvio Savarese ECCV, 2016 [website] [code] We propose an end-to-end 3D reconstruction model that unifies single- and multi-view reconstruction.
