Towards Kinetic Manipulation of the Latent Space
NeurIPS 2024 Creative AI Track
⭐ Featured
We introduce a novel approach for manipulating the image synthesis process of generative models with a simple camera, enabling dynamic and controllable generation of content without the need of specialized hardware.
Guiding Attention in End-to-End Driving Models
IV 2024
⭐ Featured
We propose a novel method to guide attention in end-to-end driving models, improving interpretability and performance in autonomous driving tasks.
Scaling Vision-based End-to-End Driving with Multi-View Attention Learning
IROS 2023
⭐ Featured
We present a scalable approach for vision-based end-to-end driving using multi-view attention learning, enhancing the model's ability to process and integrate information from multiple camera views.
