I'm a PhD student at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, where I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. KV Ling and supported by Nanyang Research Scholarship. Priorly, I received a B.Eng. from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2015, as well as a M.Eng. from Beihang University in 2018, both in Electrical Engineering. I worked as an R&D engineer at Keysight Technologies from 2019 to 2020.

My research focuses on spatial awareness in the internet of things, especially user-oriented localization from a data-driven perspective.

NeRC: Neural Ranging Correction through Differentiable Moving Horizon Location Estimation
Xu Weng, KV Ling, Haochen Liu, Bingheng Wang, Kun Cao
ACM/IEEE SenSys, 2026   (Acceptance Rate: 19%)
code / arXiv

A data-driven framework for correcting ranging errors, which is trained end-to-end using location-related loss. When combined with Euclidean distance field cost maps, NeRC can be trained using unlabeled data.

PrNet: A Neural Network for Correcting Pseudoranges to Improve Positioning With Android Raw GNSS Measurements.
Xu Weng, KV Ling, Haochen Liu
IEEE IOTJ, 2024
code / arXiv

A satellite-wise MLP is designed to regress pseudorange errors from six satellite, receiver, context-related features derived from Android raw GNSS measurements. A novel method for labeling pseudorange errors are proposed.

GnssQuest: Questing for Suitable GNSS Satellites through Augmented Reality
Xu Weng, Yuhui Jin, KV Ling
ACM SenSys Poster Abstract, 2024

An Augmented Reality (AR)-assisted framework to help exclude Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) satellites to improve GNSS localization using mobile devices.

UarLogger: Logging Measurements from UWB and AR Sensors on iOS Devices
Yuyang Zhang*, Xu Weng*, KV Ling  (* Equal contributions)
ACM/IEEE IPSN Poster Abstract, 2024   (Best Poster Runner-up Award)
code

A tool to log the relative location measurements from UWB and AR sensors mounted on iOS devices, as well as context-related data.

Receding Horizon Recursive Location Estimation
Xu Weng, KV Ling, Ling Zhao
Preprint, 2025
arXiv

A framework unifying extended Kalman filter (EKF), factor graph optimization (FGO), and moving horizon estimation (MHE).

Towards End-to-End GPS Localization with Neural Pseudorange Correction
Xu Weng, KV Ling, Haochen Liu, Kun Cao
IEEE/ISIF FUSION, 2024
