About Me
Hello! ๐ Iโm a third-year undergraduate student in UESTCโs โEverest Projectโ Computer Top-Talent Experimental Class (2023โ2027), majoring in Computer Science. Now, Iโm interested in LLM SFT/RL and reasoning, image/video generation, and unified multimodal models. Earlier, I explored AI for smart grids and remote-sensing image fusion. You can find my CV here.
โญ I am eager to discuss potential collaborations and am actively seeking research internship opportunities(industry/academia),including onsite roles.I โm also seeking for 2027 fall PHD position. Please feel free to contact me via email: [huang_rui@std.uestc.edu.cn],[paulafixamiworali@gmail.com] or WeChat: huangrui_dby if you are interested.I warmly welcome your message and look forward to connecting!

๐ฅDiffusion Dataset Condensation: Training Your Diffusion Model Faster with Less Data
Rui Huang* , Shitong Shao* , Zikai Zhou, Pukun Zhao, Hangyu Guo, Tian Ye, Lichen Bai, Shuo Yang, Zeke Xieโ
[PDF] [Github]
TL;DR: Proposed DยฒC: Diffusion Dataset Condensation for diffusion models, enabling 100ร faster training with 0.8%โ4% data via sample selection and semantic enhancement; trained on hundreds of A800/H100 GPUs.

๐ฅBeyond Fixed Formulas: Data-Driven Linear Predictor for Efficient Diffusion Models
Zhirong Shen* , Rui Huang* , Jiacheng Liu, Chang Zou, Peiliang Cai, Shikang Zheng, Zhengyi Shi, Liang Feng, Linfeng Zhangโ
[[PDF]] [Github]
TL;DR: The paper introduces LยฒP, a learnable linear predictor that accelerates image and video generation in diffusion models by 7.14ร, outperforming TaylorSeer and FoCa. It requires minimal data (50 samples) and converges in 20 seconds.

๐ฅWavelet-Assisted Multi-Frequency Attention Network for Pansharpening
Jie Huang*, Rui Huang*, Jinghao Xu, Siran Pen, Yule Duan, Liangjian Dengโ
TL;DR: Proposed WFANet for image fusion, combining wavelet transformation with attention, achieving SOTA on multiple datasets.
