6 Papers Accepted in ICCV 2025
We are delighted to announce that members of the UNC-Charlotte AI4Health Center have had six papers accepted at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2025, one of the world’s premier conferences in AI and computer vision.
This significant accomplishment underscores both the strength and collaborative spirit of AI research at the AI4Health Center. The supervising faculty for these papers include Dr. Pu Wang, Dr. Hongfei Xue, Dr. Ahmed Helmy, Dr. Srijan Das, Dr. Aidong Lu, and Dr. Depeng Xu.
A notable highlight is the paper, “Spatio-Temporal Control for Masked Motion Synthesis,” which received a perfect review score and was selected for an oral presentation. This is an exceptional distinction, awarded to only 1.68% of all submissions based on the 2023 benchmark. The work was led by PhD students Ekkasit Pinyoanuntapong and Muhammad Usama Saleem, co-advised by Dr. Pu Wang, Dr. Hongfei Xue, Dr. Ahmed Helmy, and Dr. Srijan Das.
