内容:

We live in a world that is multimodal in nature. The ability to act and reason on multimodal data in addition to standard modalities like images and texts is the key to realize AGI. In this talk, I will present the work of my group at MIT on multimodal learning for engineering design, where we expand edge of generative AI to realize the “Jarvis” in Iron Man. Being both a researcher and an entrepreneur, I will also share my journey in both the research and startup world, where I took my research to the real world to impact significant sectors such as manufacturing and education.
