Haipeng Fang 房海鹏

I will receive my Ph.D. from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Fall 2026 and join the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT, CAS) as an Assistant Researcher, focusing on digital content synthesis and forgery detection. My doctoral research was supervised by Prof. Sheng Tang and A/Prof. Fan Tang. I am open to research collaborations in:

  • Efficient AI; Model Compression and Acceleration
  • Forgery Detection; AI-Generated Content Detection
  • AI Safety and Trustworthy AI

[In Process] FD--: Less Tokens and Blocks Make AI-Generated Image Detection Faster and More Generalizable
Haipeng Fang, Yixing Lu, Yu Li, Qiang Sheng, Juan Cao, and Sheng Tang
In Process
TL;DR: We improve AIGI detection generalization through subtractions by progressively pruning tokens and exiting blocks early, guided by an early pressure loss to reduce shortcut learning. This yields a 2.3x speedup and a 6.3% generalization gain.

[CVPR 2026] ResCa: Residual Caching for Diffusion Transformers Acceleration
Haipeng Fang, Yu Li, Fan Tang, Yixing Lu, Juan Cao, and Sheng Tang
Proceedings of the 43rd IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2026)
TL;DR: We observe that many tokens follow similar denoising trajectories. We introduce a “proxy denoising” method that denoises 16 proxy tokens and uses their denoising trajectories to simulate 4096 tokens, achieving up to 5.5x speedup with lossless quality.
2025
[TCSVT 2025] MoAnimate: Bridging the Motion-Oriented Latent Representation Gaps in Human Animation
Haipeng Fang, Fan Tang, Zhihao Sun, Ziyao Huang, Juan Cao, Sheng Tang, and Yongdong Zhang
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (TCSVT)
Paper TL;DR: We address unguided initialization and inefficient interactions in consistency modeling with MoAnimate, a dual-stream motion framework that improves entity consistency across benchmarks and generalization scenarios.
[CVPR 2025] Attend to Not Attended: Structure-then-Detail Token Merging for Post-training DiT Acceleration
Haipeng Fang, Sheng Tang Juan Cao, Enshuo Zhang, Fan Tang, and Tong-Yee Lee
Proceedings of the 42nd IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2025)
Preprint / Paper /
TL;DR: We analyze the diffusion prior in DiT, identify the locations and degrees of redundancy in DiT, and design a “structure-then-detail” token merging method for post-training diffusion transformer acceleration.
[ICASSP 2025] FR2ViT: Finetuning-free Token Reduction for Dense Prediction Through a Refinement-Reactivation Architecture
Haipeng Fang, Ziheng Wu, Xinyi Zou, Jun Huang, Juan Cao, and Sheng Tang
Proceedings of the 50th IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2025)
Paper
TL;DR: We analyze the conflict between token reduction and dense prediction tasks, and design a Refinement-Reactivation Architecture for dense prediction.
2024
[ACMMM 2024] Rethinking Image Editing Detection in the Era of Generative AI Revolution
Zhihao Sun, Haipeng Fang, Juan Cao, Xinying Zhao, and Danding Wang
Proceedings of the 32nd ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACMMM 2024)
Paper
TL;DR: We propose the GRE dataset to advance detection of generative regional editing, featuring diverse methods, a multi-modal pipeline, and comprehensive benchmarks to fill gaps in existing research.
