Li Niu (牛力) is a tenured associate professor appointed at School of Computer Science in Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My current research interest includes AIGC, MLLM, etc. Some of my representative research directions are as follows:

● image composition/object insertion: [papers] [survey] [resource] [toolbox] [workbench]. The iHarmony4 dataset is the first and most well-known dataset for image harmonization. The libcom toolbox is the first and most well-known toolbox for image composition/object insertion (39k installs).

● few-shot image generation: [papers]. F2GAN is the first top-tier conference paper on few-shot image generation. DFMGAN is the first paper on few-shot defect image generation.

Moreover, I am the co-founder of [miguo.ai], which is an AI‑painting agentic platform that assists professional artists.
