Hi, I’m Mohammad Amin Shabani

PhD student - Simon Fraser University

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Simon Fraser University, advised by Prof. Yasutaka Furukawa. I earned my MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Seoul National University, where I was supervised by Prof. Kyoung Mu Lee, and my BS in Computer Science from Sharif University of Technology.
My research focuses on Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Graph Theory.

Visual Layout Composer: Image-Vector Dual Diffusion Model for Design Layout Generation

This paper proposes an image-vector dual diffusion model for generative layout design. Distinct from prior efforts that mostly ignores visual information of elements and the whole canvas, our approach integrates the power of a pre-trained large image diffusion model to guide layout composition in a vector diffusion model by providing enhanced salient region understanding and high-level interelement relationship reasoning.

HouseDiffusion: Vector Floorplan Generation via a Diffusion Model with Discrete and Continuous Denoising

The paper presents a new method for generating vector floorplans using a diffusion model that improves upon existing methods. The approach uses a graph-conditioned floorplan generation approach with a Transformer architecture and outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the RPLAN dataset.

ScaleFormer: Iterative Multi-Scale Refining Transformers for Time Series Forecasting

In this paper, we propose a general multi-scale framework that can be applied to the state-of-the-art transformer-based time series forecasting models (FEDformer, Autoformer, etc.).

Extreme Structure from Motion for Indoor Panoramas without Visual Overlaps

This paper proposes an extreme Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithm for residential indoor panoramas that have little to no visual overlaps. Only a single panorama is present in a room for many cases, making the task infeasible for existing SfM algorithms.

Local Visual Microphones: Improved Sound Extraction from Silent Video

In this paper we study local vibration patterns at different image locations. We show that different locations in the image vibrate differently. We carefully aggregate local vibrations and produce a sound quality that improves state-of-the-art.

Layer-wise Progressive Knowledge Distillation

We proposed a new method to create soft targets in different levels of complexity by obtaining the probabilities from the intermediate layers of the teacher network. Our method is specially designed for the cases that there is a large gap between the teacher and the student which makes it harder for the student to mimic the teacher.

On decomposing complete tripartite graphs into 5-cycles

The problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a complete tripartite graph into 5-cycles was first considered by ES Mahmoodian and Maryam Mirzakhani (1995). They stated some necessary conditions and conjectured that those conditions are also sufficient. We show the conjecture is true under some conditions.

On Uniquely k-List Colorable Planar Graphs, Graphs on Surfaces, and Regular Graphs

A graph G is said to have property M(k) if it is not uniquely k-list colorable. We found bounds on M(k) for graphs embedded on surfaces, and obtain new results on planar graphs. We begin a general study of bounds on M(k) for regular graphs, as well as for graphs with varying list sizes.
