I am Chen Liu, a Computer Science PhD Candidate at Yale University.

This is a centralized repository of my own Python scripts for high-quality figures.

These figures appear in top venues including Nature Machine Intelligence, ICML, NeurIPS, ECCV, etc. 🎉

Bar plots for quantitative comparison

Bar plots for composition breakdown

3D spheres

Concept plots

Heat maps

Miscellaneous: figures not made end-to-end in Python

These figures were made partially in Python. I included them to acknowledge the time and efforts I spent on them.

LLM skill integration

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_*/.
