Our group in MIT CSAIL will likely (finalizing funding) have an opening for a postdoc at the intersection of ML and geometric representations (eg meshes, CAD, LiDAR) to start late 2020/early 2021. Check out our web page to get an idea of what we’re up to: gdp.csail.mit.edu

You know those models that generate fake but realistic faces and let you change e.g. hair color or glasses with a slider? You can make this work on SNES games by learning blocks of pixels (sprites) and explicitly encoding location. Dima Smirnov at #NeurIPS2021

A fun collaboration with Chloe LeGendre, Xueming Yu, and Paul Debevec! Looking forward to presenting this next month at the DigiPro conference in LA, right before SIGGRAPH.

At DigiPro 2023, we’ll present Magenta Green Screen, a new compositing technique designed to record accurate alpha channels in an LED volume and to collect ground truth training data for natural image matting algorithms. See you there and @SIGGRAPH! dmsm.github.io/magenta-green-…

Watching Prof. Lin Lu’s (Shandong U) keynote at GMP and my day is made! Her team used DeepCurrents from my former students David Palmer+Dima Smirnov and collaborators @agrograndma Albert Chern to design materials. Exciting to see when tools actually get adopted (and work?!).
