01. About Me

I am Kunyang Li, a Ph.D. student at the University of Central Florida (UCF) , jointly affiliated with the Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IAI) and the Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV), where I am advised by Dr. Mubarak Shah and Dr. Yuzhang Shang.

My research interests lie in efficient video generation, video dataset distillation, personalized video generation, and video continual learning, with a particular focus on improving training efficiency and long-horizon generation in autoregressive and diffusion-based video models.

Previously, I received my B.S. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and my M.S. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) .

02. Research Focus

GVD: Guiding Video Diffusion

Video Dataset Distillation

We propose GVD: Guiding Video Diffusion, the first diffusion-based video distillation method. Achieves 78.29% of original dataset's performance using only 1.98% of frames in MiniUCF, and 73.83% with just 3.30% of frames in HMDB51.

PackCache: Video Generation Acceleration

Video Generation Acceleration

We introduce PackCache, a training-free KV-cache management method which dynamically compacts the KV cache. Achieves 1.7–2.2× acceleration on 48-frame sequences, with 2.6× on A40 and 3.7× on H200 for the final frames.
