FREE front-row seats to world-class science! Join UT Professor of Computer Science Kristen Grauman to explore advanced research on AI understanding of human skills. Learn about her work on Ego-Exo4D, a simultaneous video capture of both first-person "egocentric" views, from a participant's wearable camera, as well as multiple "exocentric" views, from cameras surrounding the participant. While the egocentric perspective reveals what the participant sees and hears, the exocentric views reveal the surrounding scene and the context. Together, these perspectives give AI robots and models a new window into complex human skill.
Arrive early and explore Cool Activities from 5:30 - 6:40! Local organizations will share exciting hands-on activities related to the talk. Make sure to stop by the GSCTX table to receive our new council AI Explorer fun patch!
