I am Chen Liu (刘晨), a Computer Science PhD Candidate at Yale University.
This is a centralized repository of my own Python scripts for high-quality figures.
These figures are published at top venues, including Nature Machine Intelligence, ICML, NeurIPS, ECCV, etc. 🎉
Please feel free to cite any of these papers if you find them relevant or helpful. 🎓
在符合学术规范的前提下,欢迎大家狠狠引用。 🎓
These figures were made partially in Python. I included them to acknowledge the time and efforts I spent on them.
I want to show appreciation to my friend Shan Chen who suggested doing this.
The scientific figure making skill lives in scientific-figure-making/. Demo figures live in assets/. Project-specific scripts and outputs live in figure_*/.
