Boyang Zheng

I'm currently a senior-year student, a member of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, ACM Honor Class. I'm currently an intern at NYU VisionX Group, advised by Saining Xie.

My current research interests include computer vision, self-supervised learning, and multi-modal learning. I'm also interested at generative models, which are incredibly popular nowadays. In the realm of academic, I have little interest in chasing the state-of-the-art unless I have to. Instead, I prefer to explore intersting ideas that help better understanding of this field or could possibly lead to new applications. Apart from pure academic pursuit, I also devote myself to use AI for social good, such as copyright protection, fairness and so on. In this regard, I'm also a member of MIST, a project aiming to protect the copyrighted artworks.

LM4LV: A Frozen Large Language Model for Low-level Vision Tasks
Boyang Zheng, Jinjin Gu, Shijun Li, Chao Dong,
arXiv, 2024
code / paper

A careful designed framework to let a frozen LLM to perform low-level vision tasks without any multi-modal data or prior. We also find that most current MLLMs(2024.5) with generation ability are BLIND to low-level features.

Targeted Attack Improves Protection against Unauthorized Diffusion Customization
Boyang Zheng*, Chumeng Liang*, Xiaoyu Wu,
ICLR 2025 (spotlight)
code / paper / public release for artists(also known as mist-v2)

A method to craft adversarial examples for Latent Diffusion Model against various personlization techniques(e.g. SDEdit, LoRA), strongly outperforming existing methods. We aim for protecting the privacy of artists and their copyrighted works in the era of AIGC.
