Towards Human-Centric Foundation Models: Pretraining Datasets and Unified Architectures (Talk)
- Shixiang Tang (postdoctoral researcher)
- Chinese University of Hong Kong
Recent years have witnessed great research interests in Human-Centric Visual Computing, such as person re-identification in social surveillance, mesh recovery in Metaverse, and pedestrian detection in autonomous driving. The recent development of large model offers the opportunity to unify these human-centric tasks and achieve improved performance by merging public datasets from different tasks. This talk will present our recent work on developing human-centric unified models on 2D vision, 3D vision, Skelton-based and vision-language tasks. We hope our model will be integrated to the current large language models to achieve an intelligent human world model.
