报告题目：Neurosymbolic 3D Models: Learning to Generate 3D Shape Programs

报告摘要：

Daniel Ritchie is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Brown University, where he co-leads the Visual Computing group. His research sits at the intersection of computer graphics and machine learning: broadly speaking, he is interested in helping machines to understand the visual world, so that they can in turn help people to be more visually creative. His group’s current work focuses on data-driven methods for analyzing and synthesizing 3D scenes and the 3D objects that comprise them. His research is funded by gifts from Adobe, Autodesk, Pixar, and NVIDIA, as well as grants from DARPA and the National Science Foundation, including an NSF CAREER Award. He received his PhD from Stanford University and his undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, both in Computer Science.

讲者简介：

Generative models of 3D shapes promise compelling possibilities: the elimination of tedious manual 3D modeling in creative practices, powerful priors for autonomous vision and 3D reconstruction, and more. Procedural representations (such as probabilistic grammars or programs) are one such possibility: they offer high-quality and editable outputs but are difficult to author and often result in limited diversity among the output shapes. On the other extreme are deep generative models: given enough data, they can learn to generate any class of shapes, but their outputs exhibit artifacts and their representation is not easily interpretable or editable. In this talk, I’ll discuss the history of these two approaches and my group’s ongoing research agenda toward achieving the best of both worlds: neurosymbolic 3D models, a hybrid neural-procedural approach to 3D shape synthesis. Our work in this direction involves the design of a domain-specific language for defining the part structure of manufactured 3D shapes, as well as a deep generative model which can learn to write programs in this language for novel shape synthesis.
