KEYNOTE

Cross-modal generation of multimodal content

Nicu Sebe - University of Trento

Abstract:

Video generation consists of generating a video sequence so that an object in a source image is animated according to some external information (a conditioning label, a driving video, a piece of text). In this talk I will present some of our recent achievements addressing  generating videos without using any annotation or prior information about the specific object to animate. Once trained on a set of videos depicting objects of the same category (e.g. faces, human bodies), our method can be applied to any object of this class. Based on this,  I will further present a framework to train game-engine-like neural models, solely from monocular annotated videos. Similarly to a game engine, it models the logic of the game and the underlying rules of physics, to make it possible for a user to play the game by specifying both high- and low-level action sequences. This requires learning the game's AI, encapsulated by the animation model, to navigate the scene using high-level constraints, play against an adversary, devise the strategy to win a point. I will also highlight the limitation and propose some ideas for future research.
