James Burgess

I am a Stanford PhD student working on computer vision and machine learning. I'm fortunate to be advised by Serena Yeung-Levy and to be supported by the Quad Fellowship.

In vision and ML, I'm interested in generative modeling, diffusion models, and 3D vision. I'm also very excited by applications of ML to cell biology, especially with representation learning and computer vision for microscopy.

Viewpoint Textual Inversion: Unleashing Novel View Synthesis with Pretrained 2D Diffusion Models

Image diffusion models encode 3D world knowledge in their latent space, which our method, ViewNeTI, leverages to do novel view synthesis from few input views.

Orientation-invariant autoencoders learn robust representations for shape profiling of cells and organelles

code / paper

Unsupervised shape representations of cells and organelles are erroneously sensitive to image orientation, which we mitigate with equivariant convolutional network encoders in our method, O2VAE.
