Overview
While enormous efforts have been devoted to images and languages processing, it is still at an early stage to apply deep learning to 3D, despite their great research values. Learn more with this Next Generation 3d Understanding (Internship) project at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
Key Facts
Here, they launch the project of next generation 3D understanding, and want to appeal more young talents like you to make this happen. We are particularly interested in two topics of the next generation 3D understanding:
- 1) a large-scale pretrained foundation 3D understanding model;
- 2) a vision generalist model that connects 2D and 3D vision data such as images, point clouds, and RGB-D. For the first topic, you might have heard that the trillion-parameter AI language model Switch Transformer by Google Brain excels across nature language processing tasks, and you might also know about the recent model Imagen with over 2 billion parameters can produce Photorealistic images from texts.
