Enabling Collaboration between Creators and Generative Models

Newell-Simon Hall 4305

Abstract:​ Generative models have made visual content creation as little effort as writing a short text description. Meanwhile, these models also spark concerns among artists, designers, and photographers about job security and data ownership. This leads to many questions: Will generative models make creators’ jobs obsolete? Should creators stop sharing their work publicly? How can creators [...]

Title: Learning World Simulators from Data Abstract: Modern foundational models have achieved superhuman performance in many logic and mathematical  reasoning tasks by learning to think step by step.  However, their ability to understand videos, and, consequently, control embodied agents, lags behind. They often make mistakes in recognizing simple activities, and often hallucinate when  generating videos. This [...]

While we source labor primarily from automated machines in factories, the penetration of physical robots in our daily lives has been slow. What are the challenges in realizing these intelligent machines capable of human level skill? Isn’t AI advanced [...]
