We present PHOTONS (Pose-Free Human-Centric Photo-Realistic Real-Time Novel View Synthesis from Sparse Views), a real-time framework for novel view synthesis without requiring camera calibration. Our method reconstructs consistent 3D Gaussian point clouds and synthesizes 2K photo-realistic novel vie
Recent text-to-video generation models have made remarkable progress in visual realism, motion fidelity, and text-video alignment, yet they still struggle to produce socially coherent behavior. Unlike humans, who readily infer intentions, beliefs, emotions, and social norms from brief visual cues, c
Recent approaches have demonstrated the promise of using diffusion models to generate interactive and explorable worlds. However, most of these methods face critical challenges such as excessively large parameter sizes, reliance on lengthy inference steps, and rapidly growing historical context, whi
Video-to-audio synthesis, which generates synchronized audio for visual content, critically enhances viewer immersion and narrative coherence in film and interactive media. However, video-to-audio dubbing for long-form content remains an unsolved challenge due to dynamic semantic shifts, audio diver
Poster design is a critical medium for visual communication. Prior work has explored automatic poster design using deep learning techniques, but these approaches lack text accuracy, user customization, and aesthetic appeal, limiting their applicability in artistic domains such as movies and exhibiti…
Visual presentations are vital for effective communication. Early attempts to automate their creation using deep learning often faced issues such as poorly organized layouts, inaccurate text summarization, and a lack of image understanding, leading to mismatched visuals and text. These limitations r
Monocular 3D object detection is essential for autonomous driving. However, current monocular 3D detection algorithms rely on expensive 3D labels from LiDAR scans, making it difficult to use in new datasets and unfamiliar environments. This study explores training a monocular 3D object detection mod…
We explore Bird’s-Eye View (BEV) generation, converting a BEV map into its corresponding multi-view street images. Valued for its unified spatial representation aiding multi-sensor fusion, BEV is pivotal for various autonomous driving applications. Creating accurate street-view images from BEV maps…
"Traditional deep learning relies on end-to-end backpropagation for training, but it suffers from drawbacks such as high memory consumption and not aligning with biological neural networks. Recent advancements have introduced locally supervised learning, which divides networks into modules with isol…
"Deep neural networks conventionally employ end-to-end backpropagation for their training process, which lacks biological credibility and triggers a locking dilemma during network parameter updates, leading to significant GPU memory use. Supervised local learning, which segments the network into mul…
Having reliable specifications is an unavoidable challenge in achieving verifiable correctness, robustness, and interpretability of AI systems. Existing specifications for neural networks are in the paradigm of data as specification. That is, the local neighborhood centering around a reference input…
Caricature is an artistic representation that deliberately exaggerates the distinctive features of a human face to convey humor or sarcasm. However, reconstructing a 3D caricature from a 2D caricature image remains a challenging task, mostly due to the lack of data. We propose to fill this gap by in…
