Hi! I’m Xinyue Ai (艾心玥), a senior undergraduate student in Information and Computing Science at Peking University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Di He and selected into the Elite Undergraduate Training Program. In Spring 2025, I studied as an exchange student at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University and had the opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Max Simchowitz, Prof. Albert Gu, and my supportive and inspiring graduate student mentor, Yutong He.
My research interests focus on generative models, spanning both theory and algorithms. I am particularly interested in acceleration methods for training and inference, and I am broadening my focus to the theoretical mechanisms of various generative models (including diffusion and flow-based models) and their applications in sampling and scientific domains.
Feel free to contact me via email if you share similar research interests!

🎵🏃♀️ Misc.
- I am a teaching assistant for Music and Mathematics (2024 Fall, 2025 Spring online, 2025 Fall), a course that combines two of my interests and that I greatly enjoy.
- I have been a member of the ethnic orchestra at the Chinese Music Institute (CMI), Peking University, for three years, playing Pipa (a traditional Chinese instrument) with Yanzhe Pan. Together, we performed three concerts at one of the most renowned music halls in China.
- I enjoy sports and have won several medals in university competitions at Peking University, including a gold medal in Jumping and a silver medal in the Women’s 4x100 Relay.
