Learning to create 3D content

NSH 4305

Abstract: With the popularity of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and other 3D applications, developing methods that let everyday users capture and create their own 3D content has become increasingly essential. Current 3D creation pipelines often require either tedious manual effort or specialized setups with densely captured views. Additionally, many resulting 3D models are [...]

Trustworthy Learning using Uncertain Interpretation of Data

GHC 6501

Abstract: Motivated by the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in high-cost and safety-critical applications, and recently also by the increasing presence of AI in our everyday lives, Trustworthy AI has grown in prominence as a broad area of research encompassing topics such as interpretability, robustness, verifiable safety, fairness, privacy, accountability, and more. This has created [...]

Robots That Know When They Don’t Know

1403 Tepper School Building

Abstract: Foundation models from machine learning have enabled rapid advances in perception, planning, and natural language understanding for robots. However, current systems lack any rigorous assurances when required to generalize to novel scenarios. For example, perception systems can fail to identify or localize unfamiliar objects, and large language model (LLM)-based planners can hallucinate outputs that [...]
