Renshuai Tao | 中文简介

I am an Associate Professor in Institute of Information Science (Group Leader: Yao Zhao, IEEE Fellow), School of Computer and Information Technology, Beijing Jiaotong University. I received my B.S. and Ph.D. degree from Beihang University in 2017 and 2022, under supervision of Prof. Wei Li (academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Xianglong Liu. In my Ph.D. graduation ceremony, I was selected as the student representative to speak. After graduation, I worked as a Senior Research Engineer in Noah's Ark Lab of Huawei, working with Dr. Yunhe Wang. In Huawei's career, I was invited to participate in the "Spark Award" award ceremony and had a conversation with Mr. Zhengfei Ren. I serve as a reviewer for the top conferences and journals such as NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, IJCAI, AAAI, MM, T-IFS, PR, etc.

Research

My research interests are broadly in

  • AI Safety and Security. This area mainly focuses on Digital Image Content Forensics, DeepFake Detection, Forensic Watermarking, etc. This field will be the new direction of my research and an important focus at BJTU.
  • Open-world Learning. This area mainly focuses on learning in some real-world scenerios, containing Open-set Learning, Domain Adaptation, Few-shot Learning, etc. The goal is to bridge the gap between learning on machines and humans.
  • Visual-language Models. Large-scale visual-language pre-training models have shown impressive transferability in many downstream tasks. This area brings a lot of fantastic works, e.g. CLIP and ALIGN, and there are still interesting works that need to be explored.
  • Interesting Evaluation Benchmarks. I like establish evaluation benchmarks for some very important areas that have not been studied recently. I hope these benchmarks can contribute to the community and encourage more researchers to continue to work in this field.

Few-shot X-ray Prohibited Item Detection: A Benchmark and Weak-feature Enhancement Network.
Renshuai Tao, Tianbo Wang, Ziyang Wu, Cong Liu, Aishan Liu, Xianglong Liu.
ACM Multimedia, CCF-A, 2022
PDF / Code

We propose the first X-ray FSOD dataset on the typical industrial X-ray security inspection scenario consisting of 12,333 images and 41,704 instances from 20 categories, which could benchmark and promote FSOD studies on such more challenging scenarios.

Exploring Endogenous Shift for Cross-domain Detection: A Large-scale Benchmark and Perturbation Suppression Network.
Renshuai Tao, Hainan Li, Tianbo Wang, Yanlu Wei, Yifu Ding, Bowei Jin, Hongping Zhi, Xianglong Liu, Aishan Liu.
IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition(CVPR), CCF-A, 2022
PDF / Code

We first put forward a novel and important type of domain shift in cross-domain detection, the endogenous shift, which may cause severe performance drop but has been rarely studied.

Over-sampling De-occlusion Attention Network for Prohibited Items Detection in Noisy X-ray Images [PDF]
Renshuai Tao, Yanlu Wei, Hainan Li, Aishan Liu, Yifu Ding, Haotong Qin, Xianglong Liu.
ArXiv, 2021
arXiv/ Code

To better improve occluded X-ray object detection, we further propose an over-sampling de-occlusion attention network (DOAM-O), which consists of a novel de-occlusion attention module and a new over-sampling training strategy.
