Research Publications

My research focuses on artificial intelligence and deep learning for 3D vision & graphics. I am exploring how these technologies can bring benefits in fields like mixed reality, robotics, and entertainment industry. In addition, I'm also interested in the domain of financial technology.

MotionPersona: Characteristics-aware Locomotion Control
Mingyi Shi, Wei Liu, Jidong Mei, Wangpok Tse, Rui Chen, Xuelin Chen, Taku Komura
Arxiv 2025
[project page] / [unity demo] / [paper]

A real-time character controller that generates motion animations based on specific character traits, using a diffusion-based model trained on a diverse locomotion dataset.

InterAct: A Large-Scale Dataset of Dynamic, Expressive and Interactive Activities between Two People in Daily Scenarios
Leo Ho*, Yinghao Huang*, Dafei Qin, Mingyi Shi, Wangpok Tse, Wei Liu, Junichi Yamagishi, Taku Komura
ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) 2025, Vancouver, Canada
[project page] / [video] / [paper] / [dataset]

A multi-modal motion capture dataset featuring 241 sequences of dynamic two-person interactions, capturing speech, motions, and expressions over long durations.

Mini Projects

I develop and contribute to some interesting mini projects. Selected projects are highlighted below, if you like them, welcome to give a star on Github!

Algorithmic Stock Trading Strategies
[project page]

Python implementation of trading strategies (Rule-Based Trading Strategies & Machine Learning-Based Strategies), including implementation module, backtesting module, visualization module.
- Russel 2000 rebalancing strategy
- Generative Adversarial Network for stock prediction
- LSTM model for stock prediction, etc.

SentimentSage: A Stock Market News Sentiment Analysis AI Software with RAG
[project page] / [project report] / [website demo]

The platform provides deep analysis on financial news and market sentiment. Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) models like FinBERT, combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology, it can quickly analyze financial news, extract sentiment, and generate real-time reports.

Synthetic Anime Face Generation Using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models
[project page] / [project report]

A diffusion-based approach for generating anime-style faces using Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs). The method trains a U-Net architecture on an animation face dataset to iteratively transform random noise into coherent anime portraits.

"Hello World! 🐱"

Hey there! I like adventure and exploring new things! I love travelling around the World, taking photos of those amazing places! Also, I like drawing and strumming my little guitar. And I like fencing, I was a member of HKU fencing team.

Fun facts: I can speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Southwestern Mandarin. I'm half HongKonger, half Sichuanese, and I lived in Zhuhai (a beautiful small city) when I was a child.
