(2/2) Core of our representation is an ensemble of local MLPs to facilitate high geometric detail. We will release the entire data asap! Great work by @SGiebenhain. Also super proud by the collab with @synthesiaIO kicking off the first academic publication of our research team!

[SIGGRAPH '25] EVA: Expressive Virtual Avatars from Multi-view Videos Contributions: 1. We introduce EVA, a novel method enabling full-body control with real-time, photo-realistic renderings, robustly handling loose clothing dynamics and various facial expressions. 2. We develop an expressive deformable template that generates a deformable human template mesh and employs a multi-stage tracking algorithm to faithfully capture facial expressions, body motions, and non-rigid deformations from multi-view videos. 3. We propose a disentangled 3D Gaussian appearance module that models the body and face independently, ensuring separated control and high-quality renderings.

📢📢 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐭𝟑𝐫 📢📢 Avat3r creates high-quality 3D head avatars from just a few input images in a single forward pass with a new dynamic 3DGS reconstruction model. Video: Project: Our core idea is to make Gaussian Reconstruction Models animatable. We find that a simple cross-attention to an expression code sequence is already sufficient to model complex facial expressions. We then incorporate position maps from DUSt3R and feature maps from Sapiens to facilitate the prediction task. While DUSt3R's position maps act as a pixel-aligned initialization for the Gaussians' positions, the Sapiens feature maps help the cross-view transformer to match corresponding image tokens in the 4 input images. One major challenge in creating a 3D head avatar from smartphone images comes from inconsistent facial expressions when the subject could not remain perfectly static during the capture. We eliminate this static requirement by simply showing our model input images with different facial expressions during training. This technique makes our model robust to inconsistent input images later on. Finally, we show that despite the model has been trained with 4 input images, one can even create a 3D head avatar when only a single image is available. To achieve this, we employ a pre-trained 3D GAN to lift the single image to 3D and then render the 4 input images for our model. This allows us to create 3D head avatars from single images and even highly out-of-distribution examples like AI generated faces, paintings or statues. Great work by Tobias Kirschstein from his internship at Meta with Javier Romero, Artem Sevastopolsky, and Shunsuke Saito

🚨 New Paper Hybrid Neural World Models. We build neural world models for discontinuous environments and our method discovers when they're making error, with no ground truth. Our neural models run physics fast, leaping many simulator steps in a single pass. How we find points where not to trust it: ask the model for the same future two ways, and the disagreement between the two answers marks where it's failing without needing labels. The same recipe holds on three systems with nothing in common: a chemical wave, compressible gas with shocks, rigid bodies colliding in 3D. 👇

Does GPT understand the world? Here is what Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, says during a discussion with Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia: (1) When we train a large neural network to accurately predict the next word in lots of different texts from the internet, the AI is learning a world model. (2) On the surface, it may look like learning correlations in text, but it turns out that to 'just learn' statistical correlations in text, to compress information really well, what the neural network learns is some representation of the process that produced the text. (3) This text is a projection of the world...what the neural network is learning is aspects of the world, of people, of the human conditions, their hopes, dreams, motivations, their interactions...the situations we are in. The neural network learns a compressed, abstract, usable representation." Do you think learning representations = understanding? Are large language models simply stochastic parrots, or are they much more?
