Physically-Based Simulation for Generative AI Models

MBZUAI ·

Jorge Amador, a PhD student at KAUST's Visual Computing Center, presented a talk on physically-based simulation for generative AI models. The talk covered the use of synthetic data generation and physical priors to address the need for high-quality datasets. Applications discussed include photo editing, navigation, digital humans, and cosmological simulations. Why it matters: This research explores a promising technique to overcome data scarcity issues in AI, particularly relevant in resource-constrained environments or for sensitive applications.

Inside MBZUAI’s Metaverse Lab for an immersive digital presence

MBZUAI ·

MBZUAI has launched a Metaverse Lab led by Hao Li, focusing on integrating computer vision, graphics, and machine learning for metaverse applications. The lab aims to develop AI algorithms for photorealistic virtual humans and dynamic environment digitization. Pinscreen, Li's AI startup, previously created avatars for Expo 2020 Dubai. Why it matters: This initiative positions MBZUAI and the UAE as key players in the development of core technologies underpinning the metaverse and digital communication.
