Yi Qin (Eason)

I'm now currently a Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. Xiaomeng Li at ECE, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I also have the opportunity to work closely with Prof. Hao Wang and Dr. Lu Mi. Before joining HKUST, I obtained BEng at the South China University of Technology majoring in Automation Science and Engineering.

Research

My research interest lies in the interdisciplinary areas of machine intelligence and digital healthcare. Specific interested topics include:

  • Score-based Generative Model
  • Trustworthy/Explainable ML (Energy-based Concept-based models)
  • Foundation Model (FM) based Disease Diagnosis/Prognosis Prediction

b3do Energy-Based Concept Bottleneck Models: Unifying Prediction, Concept Intervention, and Conditional Interpretations
Xinyue Xu, Yi Qin, Lu Mi, Hao Wang, Xiaomeng Li
ICLR, 2024
Codes

We introduce Energy-Based Concept Bottleneck Models (ECBM) as a unified framework for concept-based prediction, concept correction, and fine-grained interpretations based on conditional probabilities.

b3do FSDiffReg: Feature-wise and Score-wise Diffusion-guided Unsupervised Deformable Image Registration for Cardiac Images

To fully exploit the diffusion model's ability to guide the registration task, we present two modules in FSDiffReg: Feature-wise Diffusion-Guided Module (FDG) and Score-wise Diffusion-Guided Module (SDG).
