Excited to share our #ICCV2025 work Reusing Computation in Text-to-Image Diffusion for Efficient Generation of Image Sets!

Our method generates large sets of images using significantly less compute than standard diffusion.

After a prolific and rewarding decade at Adobe Research (see vova.kim), I’ve taken on a new role as Director of Applied AI/ML at Adobe. I’m building a new team and we’re looking for outstanding Applied Scientists (mostly for visual data). Shoot me an e-mail or pass along!

Nice! Do you want to do an AGI startup together?

In other words:
1. “Nom-nom yummy minerals” =>Shakespeare/da Vinci [impressive emergent behavior]
2. Millions of books and images => coherent sentences / images [interesting, but far less impressive]

Artificial intelligence is hand-crafted and fine-tuned to process human abstractions. So its ability to handle them well does not seem as surprising.

A remarkable thing about human intelligence, is that a single-celled slime, driven purely by natural selection, somehow turned into a hairless ape with a seemingly useless adaptation which allowed it to build generalizable abstract representations of the natural world. AI, on the other hand..

Why would these entities value their survival? There is no objective function or evolutionary pressure for them to develop this kind of behavior.

🎓 We introduce SAMa! A material selection and segmentation model on 3D models in any format (3DGS, NeRF, Mesh).
Given a user click, we propose to select all regions on an objects with the same material. We can also do segmentation in under a minute: mfischer-ucl.github.io/sama/

Took us 3 years to get a decision back, one reviewer complained that we didn’t cite 3 papers from this year (they were published 2 years after we submitted)

🌟 Text-to-3D is awesome ! But how do we iterate on the generated 3D model, to get just the right result? Do we tweak the prompt endlessly? Revert to traditional 3D modeling techniques?
We propose a solution to "3D inpainting” 🤩🎨
