KernelFoundry: Hardware-Aware Evolutionary GPU Kernel Optimization

ICML 2026poster

GPU kernel optimization challenges LLMs beyond standard coding tasks, as it requires an understanding of hardware architecture, parallel computing optimization strategies, and profiling outputs. However, most existing approaches leveraging LLMs for kernel generation apply standard prompting and feed…

HoloScene: Simulation‑Ready Interactive 3D Worlds from a Single Video

NeurIPS 2025poster

Digitizing the physical world into accurate simulation‑ready virtual environments offers significant opportunities in a variety of fields such as augmented and virtual reality, gaming, and robotics. However, current 3D reconstruction and scene-understanding methods commonly fall short in one or more…

PBR-SR: Mesh PBR Texture Super Resolution from 2D Image Priors

NeurIPS 2025poster

We present PBR-SR, a novel method for physically based rendering (PBR) texture super resolution (SR). It outputs high-resolution, high-quality PBR textures from low-resolution (LR) PBR input in a zero-shot manner. PBR-SR leverages an off-the-shelf super-resolution model trained on natural images, an…

Mesh2NeRF: Direct Mesh Supervision for Neural Radiance Field Representation and Generation

ECCV 2024poster

"We present , an approach to derive ground-truth radiance fields from textured meshes for 3D generation tasks. Many 3D generative approaches represent 3D scenes as radiance fields for training. Their ground-truth radiance fields are usually fitted from multi-view renderings from a large-scale synthe…

Guaranteed Conservation of Momentum for Learning Particle-based Fluid Dynamics

NeurIPS 2022accept

We present a novel method for guaranteeing linear momentum in learned physics simulations. Unlike existing methods, we enforce conservation of momentum with a hard constraint, which we realize via antisymmetrical continuous convolutional layers. We combine these strict constraints with a hierarchica…

Segment-Fusion: Hierarchical Context Fusion for Robust 3D Semantic Segmentation

CVPR 2022poster

3D semantic segmentation is a fundamental building block for several scene understanding applications such as autonomous driving, robotics and AR/VR. Several state-of-the-art semantic segmentation models suffer from the part-misclassification problem, wherein parts of the same object are labelled in…

Lagrangian Fluid Simulation with Continuous Convolutions

ICLR 2020poster

We present an approach to Lagrangian fluid simulation with a new type of convolutional network. Our networks process sets of moving particles, which describe fluids in space and time. Unlike previous approaches, we do not build an explicit graph structure to connect the particles but use spatial con…

CAM-Convs: Camera-Aware Multi-Scale Convolutions for Single-View Depth

CVPR 2019poster

Single-view depth estimation suffers from the problem that a network trained on images from one camera does not generalize to images taken with a different camera model. Thus, changing the camera model requires collecting an entirely new training dataset. In this work, we propose a new type of convo…

DeMoN: Depth and Motion Network for Learning Monocular Stereo

CVPR 2017poster

In this paper we formulate structure from motion as a learning problem. We train a convolutional network end-to-end to compute depth and camera motion from successive, unconstrained image pairs. The architecture is composed of multiple stacked encoder-decoder networks, the core part being an iterati…
