Title: World Models for Vision and Artificial Intelligence: Bayes or Bust
Abstract : The goal of Vision is to extract information about the 3D world to understand and interpret images and to enable embodied Agents to perceive, reason, and take interactions within an environment. World Models are a very promising approach which learns and leverages prior knowledge about the world including physics, causality, and a host of common sense knowledge. This enables Vision AI systems that can answer complex questions about images and perform tasks like active recognitive, image-goal navigation, active embodied question and answering, and robotic manipulation. They also have medical applications including visually predicting future disease states based on clinical decisions. This talk will discuss the potential and challenges of World Models from the perspective of Vision and give an overall Bayesian formulation.
Short Bio : Alan Yuille is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Computational Cognitive Science with appointments in the departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University. Yuille develops models of vision and cognition for computers, intended for creating artificial vision systems. Yuille obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge, where he also earned his PhD in theoretical physics under Stephen Hawking. Yuille served as a research scientist first at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. He was promoted to assistant professor of computer science in 1988 and associate professor at Harvard University. He joined the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco as a senior research scientist. He was appointed as a full professor in the department of statistics at UCLA with joint appointments in the departments of computer science, psychiatry, and psychology. He also served as co-director of the UCLA Center for Cognition, Vision, and Learning. In 2016, Yuille joined Johns Hopkins University as the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Computational Cognitive Science. The Bloomberg Distinguished Professorship program was established in 2013 by a gift from Michael Bloomberg to endow professors whose areas of expertise bridge traditional academic disciplines and promote cross-disciplinary research and collaboration.
