Xu Luo

I am a Ph.D. candidate at UESTC, advised by Prof. Jingkuan Song. My research aims to bridge the gap between virtual AI and the physical world by developing general-purpose robots, focusing on the creation of generalist policies that empower them to robustly perceive, dynamically interact, and continuously adapt—ultimately enabling them to tackle any task, in any environment.

Identifying shortcut learning as a key impediment to the generalization of generalist robot policies and providing a comprehensive analysis.

A Closer Look at Few-shot Classification Again
Xu Luo*, Hao Wu*, Ji Zhang, Lianli Gao, Jing Xu, Jingkuan Song
ICML, 2023
