About
Hi there, this is the homepage of Yuelin Xin (Jackie). He is an incoming computer science PhD student at the University of California, Irvine. He is also a researcher in computer vision and ML systems.
His current research interest lies in the exploration of vision models and learning paradigms that produce generalizable and robust representations for 2D and 3D data. He's also interested in the downstream applications of these methods in a medical context, especially tasks with limited labeled data.
He is currently working with Dr. Sharib Ali and Prof. Xiaohui Xie in computer vision and medical image analysis at the University of Leeds and the University of California, Irvine.

Medical Visual Representation Learning via Deformation Reconstruction
Yuelin Xin, Kun Han, Xiaohui Xie, Sharib Ali
Ongoing
A self-supervised learning approach on learning useful and robust medical visual representations across multiple modalities. We propose a pre-text task based on deformation reconstruction rather than masked image modeling, which is more suitable for medical images, as medical image classification depends on small visual differences that can be masked by MIM approaches.

On-the-Fly Guidance Training for Medical Image Registration
Yuelin Xin, Yicheng Chen, Shengxiang Ji, Kun Han, Xiaohui Xie
Summer 2023, MICCAI 2024
A training framework that successfully unites learning-based methods with optimization techniques to enhance the training of learning-based registration models. OFG provides guidance with pseudo ground truth to the model by optimizing the model's output on-the-fly, which allows the model to learn from the optimization process and improve its performance.

Kernel Transformer: Swin Transformer's Evil Twin
Yuelin Xin, Kun Han, Xiaohui Xie, Sharib Ali
Fall 2023
Kernel Transformer is a new backbone network for vision tasks. It is based on the sliding-window mechanism rather than the shifted-window used in Swin Transformer. This design enables the model to have a wider range of receptive field and more efficient gradient propagation. This architecture is also more flexible and can potentially benefit dense prediction tasks.

Scene Separation & Data Selection: Temporal Segmentation Algorithm for Real-time Video Stream Analysis
Yuelin Xin, Zihan Zhou, Yuxuan Xia
Summer 2022, IJCAI 2022 Workshop
A novel temporal segmentation algorithm used in real-time video stream interpretation. It works together with CNN models to improve the model's ability to handle temporal data by introducing the temporal concept of a "scene", so CNNs can be used to interpret videos in a whole new way.
