Generative Modelling for 3D Multimodal Understanding of Human Physical Interactions
Abstract: Generative modelling has been extremely successful in synthesizing text, images, and videos. Can the same machinery also help us better understand how to physically interact with the multimodal 3D world? In this talk, I will introduce some of my group's work in answering this question. I will first discuss how we can enable 2D [...]
High-resolution cloth simulation in milliseconds: Efficient GPU Cloth Simulation with Non-distance Barriers and Subspace Reuse Interactions
Abstract: We show how to push the performance of high-resolution cloth simulation, making the simulation interactive (in milliseconds) for models with one million degrees of freedom (DOFs) while keeping every triangle untangled. The guarantee of being penetration-free is inspired by the interior-point method, which converts the inequality constraints to barrier potentials. Nevertheless, we propose a [...]
Practical Challenges and Recent Advances in Data Attribution
Abstract: Data plays an increasingly crucial role in both the performance and the safety of AI models. Data attribution is an emerging family of techniques aimed at quantifying the impact of individual training data points on a model trained on them, which has found data-centric applications such as training data curation, instance-based explanation, and copyright [...]
