I am interested in reinforcement learning, unsupervised learning and self-supervised learning. My current research is focused on learning models for accurate video prediction and generation.

Using contrastive methods to learn plannable representations for manipulating deformable objects such as rope and cloth

Performing image interpolation and semantic manipulation (e.g. hair color, smiling, gender) with a PixelCN on facial images using Fisher scores as an embedding space

Sim-to-Real transfer to learning a cloth-spreading policy on a real robot with any human demonstrations
