DESCRIPTION:Prof. Qifeng Chen\nThe talk is jointly organized by the EPFL
  AI Center and the VITA Lab as part of the AI for Robotics seminar serie
 s.\n\nHosting professor: Prof. Alexandre Alahi (VITA)\n\nTitle\nFrom Pixel
 s to Physicality: Learning Motion Intelligence for Video Generation and Hu
 manoid Interaction\n\nAbstract\nThe evolution of generative AI has shifted
  from synthesizing images to modeling complex temporal dynamics in open do
 mains. However\, it remains challenging to generate and perform motion in 
 a robust\, physically feasible way in both virtual and physical worlds. In
  this talk\, I will present a perspective on motion intelligence\, the abi
 lity to generate and execute complex movements in diverse domains. I will 
 demonstrate how scaling data and architectural priors enables us to build 
 a generative bridge between digital content creation and embodied intellig
 ence\, ultimately moving towards AI that can seamlessly interact with peop
 le in the physical world.\n\nBio\nQifeng Chen is an Associate Professor at
  the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He received his PhD i
 n Computer Science from Stanford University. His research interests includ
 e generative AI\, computational photography\, and embodied AI. He was name
 d one of the "35 Innovators Under 35" and one of the top 100 AI young pion
 eers in China by MIT Technology Review. He received the Google Faculty Res
 earch Award. He served as an area chair for international conferences\, in
 cluding CVPR\, NeurIPS\, ICCV\, ECCV\, ACM Multimedia\, and ICML. He is al
 so serving as an associate editor of TPAMI.\n
