Show Lab @ NUS (original) (raw)
Welcome to Show Lab at National University of Singapore!
We research multimodal intelligence, which looks into the synergy and conversion among modalities including image, video, language, audio, tactile. This involves techniques like:
- Video Understanding e.g. video LLM, robot learning.
- Multi-modal e.g. vision+language, vision+tactile.
- Video Generation e.g. video diffusion model, world model.
