ELLIS Multimodal Learning Systems Workshop on Multimodal Foundation Models

Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO) Schwarzwaldstraße 9-11, Oberwolfach-Walke, Germany

Multimodal foundation models are a revolutionary class of AI models that provides impressive abilities to generate content (text, images, sound, videos, protein structures, and more), and do so by interactive prompts in a seemingly creative manner. These foundation models are often autoregressive, self-supervised, transformer-based models that are pre-trained on large volumes of data, typically collected […]

AI Excellence Lecture on Deep learning and Process Understanding for Data-Driven Earth System Science

ONLINE

Abstract: For a better understanding of the Earth system we need a stronger integration of observations and (mechanistic) models. Classical model-data integration approaches start with a model structure and try to estimate states or parameters via data assimilation and inverse modelling, respectively. Sometimes, several model structures are employed and evaluated, e.g. in Bayesian model averaging, […]

AI Excellence Lecture on Learning manipulation skills from instructional videos

ONLINE

Abstract: People easily learn how to change a flat tire of a car or perform resuscitation by observing other people doing the same task, for example, in an instructional video. This involves advanced visual intelligence abilities such as interpreting sequences of human actions that manipulate objects to achieve a specific task. Currently, however, there is […]
