题目：Computer Vision: An Agent-based and Task-centered Perspective

摘要：In the past 40+ years, computer vision has been studied from two popular perspectives: i) Geometry-based and object centered representations in the 1970s-90s, and ii) Appearance-based and view-centered representations in the 2000-2020s. In this talk, I will argue for a third perspective: iii) agent-based and task-centered representations, which will lead to general purpose vision systems as integrated parts of AI agents. From this perspective, vision is driven by large number of daily tasks that AI agents need to perform, including searching, reconstruction, recognition, grasping, social communications, tool using, etc. Thus vision is viewed as a continuous computational process to serve these tasks. The key concepts in this perspective are physical and social representations for:functionality, physics, intentionality, causality and utility.

题目：Learning Digital Humans for the Metaverse

摘要：The Metaverse will require artificial humans that interact with real humans as well as with real and virtual 3D worlds. This requires a real-time understanding of humans and scenes as well as the generation of natural and appropriate behavior. We approach the problem of modeling such embodied human behavior through capture, modeling, and synthesis. First we learn realistic and expressive 3D human avatars from 3D scans. We then train neural networks to estimate human pose and shape from images and video. Specifically, we focus on humans interacting with each other and the 3D world. By capturing people in action, we are able to train neural networks to model and generate human movement and human-scene interaction. To validate our models, we synthesize virtual humans in novel 3D scenes. The goal is to produce realistic human avatars that interact with virtual worlds in ways that are indistinguishable from real humans.

题目：Three-Modality Fundamental Big Model: Exploring the Path to More General Artificial Intelligence

摘要：随着文本模型GPT3/BERT等提出，预训练模型呈现高速发展的趋势，图像-文本联合学习的双模态模型也不断涌现，显示出在无监督情况下自动学习不同任务和快速迁移到不同领域数据的强大能力。然而，当前的预训练模型忽略了声音信息。在我们周边还包含大量的声音，其中语音不仅是人类之间交流的手段，还蕴藏着情绪和感情。本报告将介绍引入语音以后的首个图-文-音三模态大模型 “紫东太初”。模型将视觉、文本、语音不同模态通过各自编码器映射到统一语义空间，然后通过多头自注意力机制（Multi-head Self-attention）学习模态之间的语义关联以及特征对齐，形成多模态统一知识表示；既可以实现跨模态理解，还能实现跨模态生成，同时做到理解和生成认知能力的平衡；我们提出了一个基于词条级别(Token-level)、模态级别(Modality-level)以及样本级别(Sample-level)的多层次、多任务自监督学习统一框架，对更广泛、更多样的下游任务提供模型基础支撑，并特别地实现了通过语义网络以图生音、以音生图的功能。三模态大模型是迈向具有艺术创作能力、强大交互能力和任务泛化能力的通用型人工智能的一次重要的尝试。

题目：Compression Compatible Deep Learning

摘要：The deep learning revolution incited by the 2012 Alexnet paper has been transformative for the field of computer vision. Many problems which were severely limited using classical solutions are now seeing unprecedented success. The rapid proliferation of deep learning methods has led to a sharp increase in their use in consumer and embedded applications. One consequence of consumer and embedded applications is lossy multimedia compression which is required to engineer the efficient storage and transmission of data in these real-world scenarios. As such, there has been increased interest in a deep learning solution for multimedia compression which would allow for higher compression ratios and increased visual quality. The deep learning approach to multimedia compression, so called Learned Multimedia Compression, involves computing a compressed representation of an image or video using a deep network for the encoder and the decoder. While these techniques have enjoyed impressive academic success, their industry adoption has been essentially non-existent. Classical compression techniques like JPEG and MPEG are too entrenched in modern computing to be easily replaced. In this talk we take an orthogonal approach and leverage deep learning to improve the compression fidelity of these classical algorithms. This allows the advances in deep learning to be used for multimedia compression in the context of classical methods. We first describe the underlying theory which unifies the mathematical models of compression and deep learning allowing deep networks to operate on compressed data directly. We then discuss how deep learning can be used to correct information loss in JPEG compression in the most general setting. This allows images to be encoded at high compression ratios while still maintaining visual fidelity. Lastly, we describe how deep learning based inferencing tasks, like classification, detection, and segmentation, behave in the presence of classical compression and how to mitigate performance loss. This allows images to be compressed further but without accuracy loss on downstream learning tasks.

题目：Understanding Human Activities from First-Person Perspectives

摘要：Wearable cameras have become widely available as off-the-shelf products. First-person videos captured by wearable cameras provide close-up views of fine-grained human behavior, such as interaction with objects using hands, interaction with people, and interaction with the environment. First-person videos also provide an important clue to the intention of the person wearing the camera, such as what they are trying to do or what they are attended to. These advantages are unique to first-person videos, which are different from videos captured by fixed cameras like surveillance cameras. As a result, they attracted increasing interest to develop various computer vision methods using first-person videos as input. On the other hand, first-person videos pose a major challenge to computer vision due to multiple factors such as continuous and often violent camera movements, a limited field of view, and rapid illumination changes. In this talk, I will talk about our attempts to develop first-person vision methods for different tasks, including action recognition, future person localization, and gaze estimation.
